Fintech as a definition started trending in recent years as the future of financial services, and of money itself. For those already in the know, this is not news.

Everything from high street banks, investment companies, money transfer, FX, fintech is re-engineering these sectors into their next generation. And there are new kinds of businesses emerging: crowdfunding, peer2peer platforms, crypto currencies, AI and robo-advice... sectors that are digitally native, they didn’t exist before the internet. Fintech is about new companies, and new technologies for old companies. It’s about inventors and visionaries, and everyday people creating something new. It’s about your bank, your phone, and your job. And it’s about the future. Future, before it happens.
