The rise of fintech has dramatic implications across multiple areas of business and personal life. The impact of new technology on the centuries-old traditions of banking and finance goes far beyond the walls of the financial marketplace.
From disrupting established supply chains and enabling more even capital allocation, to enabling greater financial inclusion and contributing to the growth of a borderless, digital economy, its potential should not be underestimated. Much less the opportunity.
As the shake out between traditional banks and fintech innovators rattles on, the second New Statesman Fintech Summit discusses some of the important questions that need to be answered as the global digital economy enters a new, pivotal phase.
Join us for the second New Statesman Fintech Summit, where we will explore these issues and more with key players and leaders from the industry. Thought leaders and senior figures will present throughout the day to examine regulations, key trends and developments in the sector.
The aim of the conference is to enable the attending delegates to find new ways of driving profitability through innovation. We'll be exploring a range of topics, including:

Doing Digital - Lessons from Leaders There are a small group of banks who are transforming to be digital banks. As we all know, this is incredibly difficult for a long-established bank with thousands of people and millions of customers. What are they doing right? How are they doing it? Why do we think they are digital banks? Is there a way we could all follow their path? During the last year, Chris Skinner has been travelling the world, talking to banks that are doing digital. He selected five to be case studies for his new book - JP Morgan Chase, ING, BBVA, DBS and China Merchants Bank. From those interviews and discussions, Chris has found many lessons from banks that are doing digital right, and will share these lessons with the audience.
Given the rapid pace of innovation and the mission critical need to transform the customer digital experience, leading financial institutions have recognized that it is critical to equip both employees and customers with the knowledge they need to improve the customer experience and drive digital adoption.

The evolution of crypto custody did not come easy. From exchange hacks and private key catastrophes resulting in millions lost to poor user experiences, the demand for a better solution was inevitable. While today there is an abundance of options, quality has not always kept up with quantity. For institutional investors, many of the storage options available are too risky and put too much responsibility on the investors themselves to ensure that the large amounts of funds are stored securely. In this session we review the solutions out there today from self-custody, cold storage and hardware wallets to on exchange omnibus accounts, custodial hot wallets, walled gardens. What will the future of crypto custody evolve too?
