Event: Unbundling the Bank - How Fintech startups are changing the financial services landscape
In the same way as many industries before it - think music, travel, publishing - financial services is in the midst of dramatic change. Fintech startups are nibbling away at every part of the traditional banks' value chain, and with London's firms attracting $500m investment last year there's clearly a few investors banking (pun intended) on it.
Unbundling the Bank - book here - Thursday (6-8pm, 9th Apr) brings together some of the country's top entrepreneurs and commentators to examine whether financial innovation is likely to be driven by the banks, start-ups, or through partnership between them.
Organised jointly with Cass Entrepreneur's Network, the session features presentations from Cass Business School's Professor of Strategy, Gianvito Lanzolla and world-reknowned expert on the future of banking and money, Dave Birch of Consult Hyperion.
They'll be joined for a panel discussion by Jonathan Kramer, Sales Director of the world’s first peer-to-peer lending company, Zopa and Mutaz Qubbaj, CEO & Co-founder of Squirrel, and one of Wired/Talent International’s 15 technologists to watch in 2015.
The debate will be moderated by Ben Rooney, co-Editor in Chief at Informilo, Technology journalist, and former Technology Editors at the Wall Street Journal Europe, will host the debate.
The session will be followed by networking drinks at Cass Business School in London. Tickets start from only £5 (students), £15 (startups)
