The moment has arrived for banks and fintech to pay their debts – environmental debts – after years of collecting them. With sustainability being one of the most essential aspects of strategy and concern, many of them have evolved into ESG.

The last few years have been a blessing for those looking for online education. With furlough schemes forcing people to stay at home with little to do, many looked to online to education courses in order to further, or learn, new skills.

Banks are having a collective epiphany: the traditional role they play in their customers’ lives, which has been historically relegated to the “back-office,” must change.

The world of payments has changed in a comparatively short time span beyond all recognition. Old certainties have been swept away by a digital revolution, and consumers are loving the resulting freedom. For one thing, reliance on cash usage is clearly decreasing.
