The Fintech PR Network is an organisation with a truly global perspective, so to keep you plugged in we have compiled a list of the top global Fintech events not to be missed in 2018.
Digital disruption in financial services is changing the world. Fintech sees itself as shaking up the old banking system and it is certainly stealing ground from traditional financial services.
According to the World FinTech Report 2017, released by Capgemini and Linkedin, half of banking customers around the world are now using the services of at least one fintech firm.
Fintechs are especially gaining ground in emerging markets, with more than 75 per cent of customers in China and India using the services of fintechs and adoption also high in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Hong Kong.
As fintech matures, the industry has pulled together to create a raft of world-leading live events that allow fintechs to promote their businesses and meet other innovators. These networking opportunities are important for both emerging and established fintechs, who in a rapidly-changing marketplace need to constantly sharpen their skills and stay ahead of the latest trends.
