Of Mice and Elephants:
Helping fintechs and large institutions collaborate for better outcomes

About the Webinar

Financial services institutions and fintechs are increasingly working together to accelerate speed to market of new business ideas. However this process is not always without pain as organisations with very different cultures learn how to work together.

In this webinar, we speak to executives from all sides of the equation to hear first-hand their perspectives on what it’s like to work with culturally different partners, and some ways to overcome common challenges and move to a model that enables a better outcome for all the parties including the end customers. 


We’ll also discuss how financial institutions need to provide simpler ways to enable secure and compliant collaboration with partners, creating platforms that enable plug-and-play external collaboration and expand the opportunities for all parties.
