Next week, we’ll be very excited to participate in the second edition of the Paris Fintech Forum on January 30 and 31 at the Palais Brongniart. It will be a great opportunity to meet with leading financial institutions, digital banks, as well as Fintechs from all over the world.
Between the emergence of ground-breaking technologies such as Blockchain and Machine Learning, and the release of impactful regulations, the financial industry at large is facing major changes. The quest for a seamless and secure user experience respecting the customers’ right to data privacy remains a permanent preoccupation for both incumbent players and new-comers. Today, the banking world is full of challenges to solve and opportunities to grab, among which Open Banking and PSD2, Banking as a Service, Digital Identities, and Blockchain are particularly demanding and critical. With this in mind, it’s clear there’ll be much to discuss, assess and consider at the show. So, here are the top 4 discussion points you should bear in mind while you’re at Paris Fintech Forum:
-
Enforcement of PSD2 and Open Banking
The enforcement of PSD2 represents a key challenge for banks as they have to find ways to ensure short-term compliance and strong authentication adoption while paving the way for a future-proof fraud prevention platform. Financial institutions and third-party providers need special guidance in order to define new Open Banking experiences and tailored risk management, and authentication platforms.
-
Banking as a Service
With the rise of Open Banking, more and more new actors want to offer banking and payment services. This is hot topic for us; our own cloud-ready and API-enabled solutions allow Fintechs and banks to deploy their services in a fast, reliable, and scalable way in order to provide end-to-end digital enablement to their customers.
