ITN Business and Circle produce news-style programs about fintech’s role in society
As our everyday lives become more dependent on financial technology, FINTECH Circle and ITN Business have produced a news programme, ‘Fintech for Good’, to highlight the importance of fintech and the work the sector is doing to improve people’s lives.
The program highlights how fintech empowers consumers by simplifying our financial lives, while creating jobs, promoting climate responsibility with green fintech and helping to achieve greater financial inclusion. ‘Fintech for Good’ also explores embedded finance and addresses the negative perceptions that people are no longer in control of their budgets.
Anchored by presenter and journalist, Duncan Golestani, ‘Fintech for Good’ features interviews from the ITN London studios with industry thought leaders, including Susanne Chishti, CEO of FINTECH Circle, who discuss the retirement time bomb and the opportunities and challenges for the future of FinTech. Following recent figures from banking body UK Finance that cash will make up just 6% of payments over the next ten years, we will also explore how this greater reliance on technology for payments will affect social mobility in our society.
Hosted on the FINTECH Circle website and YouTube channel, the program also features reporter-led sponsored editorial profiles from the following organizations:
Policy Expert – discuss how their proprietary technology and data analytics aim to make insurance more accessible, fairer and easier for customers, from pricing to claims.
Quant – show how they are working to create a new digital payment network that will transform lives and markets by enabling seamless transactions across borders.
Reltime – share how they offer white-labeled solutions to trusted financial and non-financial partners, aiming to make Web3 decentralized finance the new normal.
RTGS.global – demonstrate how their global settlement structure enables immediate, secure and 24/7 payments 365 days a year, solving today’s challenges while preparing for tomorrow’s.
Vitesse – explain how their cutting-edge technology delivers funds as quickly as possible when a claim comes in, helping people when they need it most.
Susanne Chishti, CEO of FINTECH Circle said: “Fintech Innovation across global payments, insurance and decentralized finance – as shown in this film – expands our sense of the possible. So much of the future is already with us. We were inspired by these companies that anticipate customer demand, interact with customers the way they want and see innovation as an opportunity for our society. A big thank you to ITN Business for being the best partner to tell these inspiring stories!”
Nina Harrison-Bell, Head of ITN Business, said: “It has been great to once again partner with the FINTECH Circle, shining a light on the positive impact the sector is having on our society. With fintech now a norm in most of our lives, it has been interesting to take a deeper dive into the industry and explore the financially inclusive world being created, for the benefit of people and the planet.”
The program will launch on 30 November 2022 at FinTech Connect, with news, interviews and sponsored editorial profiles. FINTECH Circle will support the program with a comprehensive campaign targeting its membership and global community, and the program will be available for viewing on www.fintechcircle.com from 30 November 2022.
