From Transactions to Relations: The Promise of FinTech and the Power of Human Relationships

Wednesday, September 5
4:15-5:30 PM

Room: Chesapeake D-F

Topics: Emerging Trends, Financial Capability, Improve Your Program

Technology is in every aspect of our lives. Our children ask Siri what they want to know, while we find restaurants and pay for lunch – all on our phones. The same is true for us all financially, in the way that we move money from place to place and watch companies compete for our banking relationships. But will “fintech” eventually replace the need for human interaction within financial services? Our research tells us the answer is not so simple. Join a conversation on the future of fintech and how human interaction and control over product features is still relevant – and what that means for nonprofits focused on financial issues facing their clients. This session is sponsored by PayPal.
