Behind the hype – Finastra and Rise London have collaborated to bring a new series of meetup events breaking down overhyped topics in fintech. Our next topic will be lending – exploring peer 2 peer and SME funding.

Join Rise London for our Flagship event series Expert panellists in a 45 minute discussion on the subject, including benefits, challenges and where the UK stands in comparison to other nations.

Features like escrow and smart, frictionless transactions are effective strategies used by platform businesses - and they can be key to a Fintech reaching its disruptive potential.
