NewFinance October FinTech Meetup - PSD2 and GDPR

Hi Everyone,

Please join us for our October FinTech Open Mic Night.

This month we're looking at regulatory changes that will have a great effect on FinTech in the near future. First half of 2018 will bring two major new pieces of regulation - the revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will come into effect from January and May respectively. Although they seem unconnected, these two initiatives do share some common aims and may change the area of banking and finance.

The session will also provide opportunities for everyone to tell the group a little about what they're interested in and what they're working on; please ping an Organiser if you'd like your project listed on the event listing here, otherwise please feel free to just turn up and tell us what you're doing.
