To sell to big banks, most fintechs need to get serious Selling to large banks as a small fintech is definitely possible, but it’s not going to land you a multi-million dollar deal overnight and you should forget any notion of moving fast and breaking things I’ve been in the financial services market for over a decade.

Global trade is an ever-shifting sea. The waves of growth go up and down, but one thing remains certain: both barriers and opportunities are always present.

In 2016, I took a sabbatical after PDFing 464 electronic pages of "Automation in Banking - 2016."

From maps to stats, and back again Since I was a teenager in the 1970s, I have loved studying maps. Back then I was growing up in rural eastern Scotland, not far from St. Andrews, the home of golf (in the era when Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson were the maestros of the links).

Predicting what the future of financial companies will look like in the short term is not an easy task, but it is one that should be undertaken, if we are to make sense of the 21st century. The problem with making any predictions is that the stability of the world, in terms of providing a good place for a Fintech company to work in, has been shake...

In our role as a financial technology broker, we find ourselves right in the middle of the fintech and regtech eco-system.
