Brett King | Keynote Speaker

Introduction

If you want to book Brett King, you are booking a speaker who sits right at the crossroads of finance, technology transformation and customer behaviour. His work looks at how mobile technology, AI and embedded technology experiences are redefining financial services, changing consumer behavior and raising expectations created by the mobile phone, digital platforms and always-on services. That makes him a strong choice for audiences trying to keep up with a rapidly changing market.

Professional Background & Credentials

Brett King is best known as the founder of Moven and as a long-standing voice in fintech and digital banking. He previously advised the Obama administration on fintech policy and, according to his official biography, advises regulators in multiple countries. He has also appeared on CNBC, BBC, ABC, Fox and Bloomberg, which gives event organisers the confidence that he is as comfortable in front of a broad business audience as he is with a specialist financial services crowd.

He has delivered keynotes for TED conferences and major global events including Wired, Techsauce, Singularity University, Web Summit, The Economist, CES, SIBOS, Dreamforce and Money20/20. That range matters. It shows he can speak just as effectively on banking, payments and financial inclusion as he can on the bigger shifts affecting leadership, technology and the long term future of business.

Books and Thought Leadership

Brett’s books are a big part of why organisations book Brett King. The official bibliography on his site includes Bank 2.0, Branch Today, Gone Tomorrow, Bank 3.0, Breaking Banks, the book Augmented, Bank 4.0, The Rise of Technosocialism and Branch Tomorrow. His official biography also states that President Xi Jinping cited his book Augmented, while publisher material says Bank 4.0 was recognised in Russia as a top book by a foreign author.

In Bank 3.0, Brett looks at the latest trends redefining financial services and payments, from the global scramble around the mobile wallet to the expectations created by tablet computing. The book argues that mobile technology is completely changing the context of banking, that customer advocacy is overtaking traditional brand marketing, and that banks need to respond far more quickly to shifts in both consumer behavior and customer behaviour.

That same line of thinking runs through Bank 4.0 and Branch Tomorrow. In his speaking work on branch banking, bank Brett takes audiences through the decline of the traditional branch model and the pressure on institutions to completely reinvent banking for a new era. It is a practical, commercially relevant message for leaders facing digital disruption, higher customer expectations and tougher competition from new entrants.

Speaking Style & Audience Value

Brett King’s talks are informed, fast-moving and easy to follow. Popular themes include redefining financial services, financial inclusion, smart infrastructure, disruptive technologies, health tech, gene therapy, customer advocacy and the biggest disruptions likely to affect society emerging over the next 20 to 30 years. One keynote explores whether science fiction predicts the future of banking, money and economics. Another looks at how AI, inequality and climate change accelerating may force humanity to adapt personally and professionally.

His wider thought leadership also reaches well beyond banking. In The Rise of Technosocialism, Brett examines what he describes as a contentious period for humanity, one that challenges sacred ideologies, social constructs and some of the most fundamental tenets of how societies organise money, power and opportunity. For hosts, that broader lens is useful. He does not just talk about products or apps. He talks about the forces that shape technology transformation, economics and the world order over the long term future.

Awards and Recognition

Brett’s work has also been widely recognised. American Banker lists him as its 2012 Innovator of the Year, and his official biography states that he was inducted into the Fintech Hall of Fame in 2020. His site also highlights recognition from Banking Exchange and his standing as a globally ranked futurist.
