Episode recording with Fintech Australia.

Fintech has emerged as a transformative force in the financial sector, offering innovative solutions that not only enhance financial services but also address broader societal issues, including environmental sustainability, customer vulnerability, and overall financial well-being.

Those objectives are heavily featured in the Research & Innovation Roadmap that we published 2 years ago.

In Scotland, we have an important number of fintechs addressing those challenges. In fact, the majority of Scottish fintechs are fintech for good.

Today we’ll take some time to consider how those organisations are driving positive changes. 

Guests: 

Ren Hooi, Founder and CEO at Lightning Reach

Robin Peters, Co-founder and CEO at Snugg

Sheila Hogan, Founder and CEO at Biscuit Tin
