What the FinTech? | S.3 Episode 14 | How team work makes the dream work
In this episode of the What the Fintech? podcast, Gabriele Columbro, founder and executive director of FINOS, the Fintech Open Source Foundation, joins us to discuss how open source approaches can revolutionise financial services.
Gabriele and FinTech Futures reporter Alex Pugh begin by drilling down into some stats and figures from a recent white paper on the global fintech landscape before taking a look at the European Central Bank’s initiative to explore the potential for a digital Euro that, with its emphasis on collaboration and innovation, has all the hallmarks of open source.
In the Q&A section, the pair touch on whether fintech founders are just ‘bankers in hoodies’, bloated middle management pushback against change, how open source approaches live up to the utopian ideals of the internet (and nascent Web3), the secret sauce that binds the disparate members of FINOS together and the importance of baking in standards to protect consumer data. And a whole lot more.
Lastly, we find out what industry buzzword or jargon phrase Gabriele wants to consign to our Fintech Jail.
