Frequently Asked Questions

A FinTech keynote can explore banking, payments, digital finance, financial innovation, regulation, customer expectations, emerging technology and the changing structure of financial services. The session can be broad or focused on a particular part of the market, depending on the event and the audience.
FinTech speakers may come from banking, payments, technology, financial markets, entrepreneurship, regulation, economics, venture investing or digital finance. The most appropriate background depends on whether the event needs an industry insider, a technology perspective, an investor view, a regulatory lens or a wider look at financial services.
No. FinTech can also be relevant to technology companies, retailers, professional services firms, investors and other organisations affected by digital payments, embedded finance, changing customer expectations or new financial technologies. The event brief should make clear how directly the audience works within financial services.
A FinTech speaker is generally the better fit for a broad discussion of banking, payments, financial innovation and the future of financial services. A cryptocurrency speaker is more suitable when digital assets, blockchain, decentralised finance or digital currencies are central to the brief.
