Monthly Seminar - Compliance, Identity and Security

NB. RSVP's thorugh Meetup are now closed but there will be tickets on the door at £15, see you there, Eddie.

Hi Everyone,

Our December monthly FinTech Seminar will focus on Compliance, Identity and Security, three areas relevant to every FinTech Entrepreneur.

One of the many challenges to using the Internet as a delivery mechanism for Financial Services are the enhancements necessary to make it fit-for-purpose for Finance. The open, federated, and distributed nature of the Internet has to be upgraded when we provide financial services, in particular identity and security are key issues. Behind the scences, effective compliance and regulation are also essential, and both are significant challenges in a rapidly changing tech environment. This seminar will explore the latest themes and developments, the key players and their offerings.

The session includes a FREE Guide to FinTech Compliance, Identity and Security which digs deeper into the main players and identifies opportunities for FinTech Entrepreneurs. All of our FREE seminar guides are available to download here (http://www.london.newfinance.org/files/).

We'll be videoing the session as usual for those of you who are unable to attend. You may click here to watch the videos (https://www.meetup.com/newfinance/about/) from our previous seminars and here to see the photos. (https://www.meetup.com/newfinance/photos/)
