Crisis To Catalyst
In April we took a look at what’s been happening in FinTech around the world through our film series Innovation In Finance. The unprecedented times we have found ourselves in since then has forced us to take a closer look not just at how COVID-19 is accelerating the existing transformation in FinTech, but bringing other injustices and concerns into clearer relief. Through a combination of footage we were able to capture before lockdown, and socially distanced interviews we’ve been able to arrange during it, we’ve been able to put together a compelling, global look at what’s next for FinTech.
It could take decades for the significance of 2020 to be fully understood. As well as being an authentically global crisis, it could also be a global turning point. There is a great deal of emotional, physical and financial pain in the immediate future but the outcome could produce positives that could ultimately change our financial society for the better.
This 30-minute feature film explores the impact of COVID-19 on FinTech and society at large. Speaking to some of the leading figures in the global FinTech ecosystem, we delve into the challenges to personal data, the evolving conversation on diversity and inclusion in FinTech, and the democratisation of banking today.
