Fintech businesses need talented individuals to help them scale up and realise their full potential. However, fintechs are often in competition with traditional financial institutions for skilled employees and need to think of innovative ways to recruit and retain those employees. A panel, including representatives from Pinsent Masons, Love Your Employees, Lightbox Reward and Solutions Driven, will be discussing the ways in which fintechs can incentivise their employees, the innovative solutions that are available in the market, what the future of employee incentivisation might look like and, of course, the impact of COVID-19.

We analyse the information content of a digital footprint — that is, information that users leave online simply by accessing or registering on a website; for predicting consumer default. We show that even simple, easily accessible variables from a digital footprint match the information content of credit bureau scores. A digital footprint complements rather than substitutes for credit bureau information and affects access to credit and reduces default rates. We discuss the implications for financial intermediaries’ business models, access to credit for the unbanked, and the behaviour of consumers, firms, and regulators in the digital sphere.
