FinTech: Top Trends 2022

A FinTech Advisory Council Sponsored Event

MEMBERS-ONLY RECORDING

Technology continues to transform every corner of finance and investing, and funding continues to pour in to new and established firms. Fintech funding dollars accounted for 21% of all VC dollars invested last year. Total global VC funding reached $621B. Around 14 fintech deals were announced every day, on average, worth a total of almost $388M.

Will the flood of newcomers continue to pressure legacy firms? There is evidence that is the case as the biggest firms announce investments in tech as did JPMorgan Chase recent release that it would spend $12B to up its tech stack. It will also boost its general investment by 30% to reach $15B.

With the speed of change, the Fintech Advisory Committee holds an annual review of trends. Our expert panelists for Fintech: Top Trends 2022 bring storied histories in the field as well as current work on the cutting edge of trends.

Breakout room discussions follow for networking and attendee questions.
