Alessandro will discuss how technology is transforming banking in a discussion titled “Who is the Spotify of Banking?”
Following the analogy of the music industry, he believes that many of the Banks are like the old-fashioned music stores and many of the fintechs are like the music download businesses. The real question is: who will offer the banking equivalent of music streaming?
This and other topics are covered in his latest book “Reinventing Banking and Finance”, chosen as the Best Book on Banking of 2021 by Investopedia - the leading US financial information site, part of Forbes, with over 17m unique monthly user (https://www.investopedia.com/best-banking-books-5094609 )
‘My book touches on many of these angles. We could give our discussion a technology focus to underscore the fact that all of this transformation in finance has been possible because of technology: Mobile, Big Data, Robotic process automation, AI, and much more.'
Technology is transforming the world we live in and banking is not immune from this change. Across the globe banks, fintechs and big tech are rethinking the financial services industry.
