Open Banking for Good: Eyal Sivan on Data, Innovation and Financial Inclusion 29:46

6 weeks önce29:46

29:46

How can allowing customers to “own” their data reshape finance for everyone’s benefit? Mr. Open Banking himself, Eyal Sivan, joins Fintech Files to discuss how open banking rose from the 2008 financial crisis to become a worldwide movement centered on competition, innovation, and transparency. With over 25 years in IT and banking technology, Eyal breaks down the core principles behind open banking, clarifies myths around security, and explores how different regions—from Europe to Brazil—are innovating with standards and regulation. Discussion Highlights From IT Wiz to Mr. Open Banking: Eyal shares his journey from early web-development days to becoming Head of Strategic Platforms at CIBC. A pivotal encounter in Oslo introduces him to the concept of open banking, sparking a deep fascination that leads to his own podcast and advocacy. Defining Open Banking: Why “open” doesn’t mean your data is up for grabs—Eyal clarifies that it’s about standardized APIs, not insecure data sharing. The three key goals of open banking: competition, innovation, and transparency. Global Momentum & Security Myths: How PSD2 in Europe and subsequent adoption in the UK, Australia, Brazil, and beyond drove standardization. Eyal dispels security concerns, showing how “screen scraping” is actually less secure than standardized APIs. Financial Inclusion Potential: Brazil as a case study: rapid adoption of open banking and digital wallets, enabling millions to join the formal financial ecosystem. Eyal underscores that open banking can reduce barriers for underserved populations—but only when paired with the right regulatory guidance. Risks & Roadblocks: Eyal addresses how, without careful regulation, large incumbents could still dominate. Achieving a global open banking system is unlikely; instead, interoperability among diverse regional standards is the main ambition. Looking Ahead: Open Finance & Beyond: Eyal’s vision of open banking has it expanding more into sectors like healthcare and social media. Ultimately, Eyal believes broader “data ownership” across industries is inevitable once consumers realize their rights.

Supporting Startups and Payment Orchestration with Nader Abdelrazik from MoneyHash 27:15

27:15

How can entrepreneurs in emerging markets break the mold and foster economic growth amid unpredictability? In this episode, Nader Abdelrazik—founder of MoneyHash—shares how he navigated life during the Arab Spring, was motivated to become an economist, and ultimately built a fintech startup. Nader discusses the unique challenges of the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, from buyer and investor skepticism (aka the “foreigner complex”) to regulatory uncertainty. He outlines how payment orchestration can pave the way for better financial inclusion and economic advancement. Discussion Highlights Arab Spring & Economic Lessons: Nader talks about living through the Arab Spring in Egypt and how witnessing the gap between theoretical economic models and local realities propelled him to study economics. He reflects on how global economic frameworks often overlook regional nuances and historical-political contexts. Foreign Perceptions & the “Foreigner Complex”: The conversation delves into how local startups in MEA are often assumed to be “copycat” versions of successful foreign companies. Nader explains why this assumption undermines the region’s homegrown talent and how founders need to counteract these stereotypes to secure funding and market trust. Building MoneyHash: Nader describes how MoneyHash acts as a “plumber” for payment systems, unifying and optimizing various payment solutions to improve performance and user experience—especially critical in markets where digital ecosystems are fragmented and investors often remain wary. Challenges & Opportunities in Emerging Markets: From regulatory red tape to a shortage of local senior tech talent, Nader outlines common hurdles. Yet, these same uncertainties offer fast growth potential and the opportunity to innovate more nimbly than in saturated, mature markets. Capital Constraints & Investment Gaps: Whether due to perceived risk or lack of promotion, emerging-market startups struggle to attract global investors. Nader advocates for reshaping the narrative around MEA’s vast talent and market size, emphasizing de-risked success stories that can inspire future funding. Fintech & Financial Inclusion: Nader underscores the importance of diverse fintech solutions for everyday financial transactions. He highlights how fragmented payment methods, mobile money, and alternative services in Africa and the Middle East can drive genuine financial inclusion outside traditional banking models.

How can the financial sector lead the way in global decarbonization efforts? In this episode, we sit down with Mustafa Bosca, Co-Founder and Chief Decarbonization Officer at CarbonSifr, to explore the pivotal role financial services play in combating climate change. We delve into how Mustafa helps banks and organizations measure, reduce, and remove their carbon footprints, leveraging data to drive impactful change. Mustafa also shares his journey from being a BCG consultant to becoming a climate tech entrepreneur. Discussion Highlights: The Financial Sector's Role in Decarbonization: Mustafa explains how financial services are embedded in every aspect of our lives and how banks can enable decarbonization by financing sustainable projects. Mustafa highlights that decarbonization is not a zero-sum game. By investing in sustainable practices, businesses can increase efficiency, reach new customer segments, and engage customers in innovative ways. Real-World Applications and Partnerships: Mustafa shares examples of how CarbonSifr works with clients to decarbonize their operations. One case involves a "dark kitchen" where they identified that beef sourced from Brazil contributed significantly to the company's carbon footprint. By reorganizing the supply chain and working with climate tech partners, they helped reduce emissions. Partnership with Careem: Mustafa elaborates on their collaboration with Careem, a ride-sharing app. They created an eco-friendly ride option where customers can choose a ride that offsets its carbon emissions. This involves calculating the carbon footprint of each ride and investing in nature-based carbon removal projects, engaging consumers directly in sustainability efforts. Challenges of Building a Climate Tech Startup: Mustafa shares his experiences transitioning from consulting to entrepreneurship. He talks about the challenges of getting into the technical details, working with programmers, and balancing immediate tasks with long-term goals while managing scarce resources. He also acknowledges that consulting skills learned during his time at BCG that help him in this entrepreneurial journey. The Path to Net Zero by 2050: Looking ahead, Mustafa discusses the critical steps the financial services industry must take to reach net zero. He stresses the importance of awareness in the sector's role, balancing risks and returns, and the necessity for banks and asset managers to actively participate in climate action to mitigate future risks and capitalize on opportunities.

Making Mortgages Accessible: Housing Affordability and the EU Green Deal with Geert Van Kerckhoven from Oper 26:57

How can technology make homeownership more accessible while supporting Europe's climate goals? In this episode, we sit down with Geert Van Kerckhoven, co-founder of Oper, to explore the challenges of housing affordability in Europe and the impact of the EU Green Deal on mortgages. Geert discusses how technology can empower banks and loan advisors to better serve clients, helping more people navigate the complex process of buying a home while promoting energy-efficient renovations. Discussion Highlights: The Emotional Journey of Buying a Home: Geert discusses the anxiety and complexity involved in the mortgage process, even for industry experts. He shares personal stories about how daunting it can be to understand all the terms and ensure affordability when purchasing a property. Housing Affordability Challenges: With rising interest rates and stricter regulations following the financial crisis, first-time homebuyers are finding it increasingly difficult to afford homes. Geert highlights how affordability issues are impacting lower and middle-class families across Europe, emphasizing the need for both public and private sector solutions. Impact of the EU Green Deal on Housing: The EU's ambitious climate targets under the Green Deal require significant reductions in carbon emissions, which means renovating millions of homes to be more energy-efficient. Geert explains how this adds additional costs for homebuyers, as some banks won't approve mortgages unless buyers commit to costly renovations, further complicating affordability. Combining Mortgages with Energy Efficiency Improvements: Geert discusses how financing energy-efficient renovations alongside mortgages can help reduce long-term costs for homeowners. By investing in improvements like heat pumps or solar panels, borrowers can lower their energy expenses and increase property values, aligning financial and environmental goals. The Role of Financial Education: Emphasizing the importance of financial literacy, Geert talks about how understanding concepts like compound interest and long-term planning can empower individuals to make better decisions regarding homeownership and wealth building. He highlights the need for better financial education to help people navigate the complexities of mortgages and investments.

Bridging the Credit Gap: Financial Inclusion with Rajat Dayal from Yabx 24:57

24 weeks önce24:57

24:57

How can we create credit histories for unbanked people? In this episode, we sit down with Rajat Dayal, CEO and Founder of YabX, to explore how his company is revolutionizing credit access in emerging markets. About 1.5 billion individuals and businesses have no access to credit or any other financial product. Rajat shares insights on leveraging alternative data, like mobile wallet activity, to create credit histories for those overlooked by traditional banking systems. We delve into the challenges of non-traditional credit scoring, the impact on local economies, and how purpose-driven loans can foster financial inclusion. Discussion Highlights: Financial Inclusion and the Credit Gap: Rajat discusses the massive challenge of providing financial services to the 1.5 billion individuals and businesses without access to credit. Traditional banks often overlook this segment due to the lack of credit histories, creating a chicken-and-egg problem where people can't get credit because they have no credit history, and vice versa. Leveraging Mobile Wallets and Alternative Data: In regions like Africa, mobile wallets such as M-Pesa have transformed how people transact. Rajat explains how YabX utilizes mobile wallet data and other alternative data sources—like utility payments and telecom data—to assess creditworthiness. This approach helps create credit scores for individuals who previously had no formal financial footprints. Challenges with Non-Traditional Credit Scoring: Traditional banks often hesitate to trust alternative credit scoring methods. Rajat shares how YabX builds trust with banking partners by demonstrating the efficacy of their models through back-testing and pilot programs. He emphasizes the importance of proving that these non-traditional methods can predict repayment behavior accurately. Purpose-Driven Loans: YabX focuses on offering loans for specific purposes, such as purchasing handsets or paying school fees. Rajat explains how purpose-driven loans increase the likelihood of repayment because the funds are used for essential needs, aligning the interests of both the lender and the borrower. Impact on Local Economies: By providing access to credit, YabX empowers small businesses and individuals in rural and underserved areas. This not only helps these businesses grow but also contributes to job creation and economic development in local communities. Rajat highlights how digital lending platforms can reach areas traditional banks can't, fostering broader economic digitization.

Harnessing AI and Finance for Sustainability with Anne Kleppe from BCG 26:55

26 weeks önce26:55

26:55

How can financial institutions drive sustainability and responsible AI practices? In this episode, we sit down with Anne Kleppe, a leading expert in sustainability and responsible AI at BCG. Anne shares her insights on how banks and financial institutions can leverage their influence to promote sustainable practices, reduce their carbon footprints, and use AI responsibly. We explore the challenges of measuring financed emissions, how AI can contribute to a more sustainable world, and explore real world examples of banking more sustainably in action. Discussion Highlights: Finance as a Force for Good: Anne discusses the unique position of financial institutions to drive positive change. By directing capital flows into sustainable activities, banks can significantly impact the economy and promote environmentally and socially responsible practices. Measuring Financed Emissions : Banks have a complex task—measuring the emissions of the businesses they finance. Anne explains how financial institutions can navigate the challenge of measuring financed emissions using advanced modeling tools and data sources, offering transparency and enabling banks to make more informed lending decisions. For example, tools like CO2 FI help streamline this process. AI and Sustainability: AI has the potential to help banks and industries reduce their environmental impact by analyzing vast amounts of data, predicting outcomes, and providing actionable insights that contribute to greener business practices. However, Anne also highlights the need to balance this with the fact that AI is energy-intensive and can significantly increase carbon emissions. To truly drive sustainability, institutions must ensure that the environmental benefits of AI outweigh its energy demands, finding ways to optimize both technology and resource use. The Role of Responsible AI: Anne discusses the importance of responsible AI in financial services, emphasizing the need for it to be secure, equitable, and fit for purpose. While AI can offer valuable support in decision-making and drive efficiency, Anne also underscores the need to carefully manage the associated risks, such as bias and data security. Balancing the benefits of AI with ethical considerations is key to its responsible deployment in the industry. Real-World Examples of Navigating Sustainability: Anne provides examples of how financial institutions are grappling with sustainability in their lending practices. In one instance, a bank identified that a significant portion of its financed emissions came from a coal power plant, prompting them to reconsider their involvement. Another example highlights efforts in the agricultural sector, where banks are supporting farmers in adopting greener practices, like improving soil health, which can enhance productivity.

Democratizing Finance: Wealth Management with Akin Soysal from BCG X 26:23

28 weeks önce26:23

26:23

What trends do we see in wealth management as the GenAI Era Unfolds? Akin Soysal is a global expert on digital investing and part of our BCG X leadership team in Europe, the Middle East and South America. Akin dives into the biggest topics disrupting financial management across the globe. How does Gen Z leverage retail investing for saving for retirement? Can AI be an effective financial advisor? How are millionaires migrating around the globe? We’ll explore these topics and more in our conversation with Akin. Discussion Highlights: The GenAI Era Unfolds : Global Wealth Report 2024: The BCG annual wealth management report calculates how much wealth there is in the world. It gets broken down into regions and essentially allows you to draw conclusions about who got richer and who got poorer. This year's report touches on the impact of AI, how wealth is distributed, and trends disrupting the financial services industry. Income Generation vs. Wealth Management: Akin discusses how income is tangible and immediate, whereas wealth management and investing are not. This often causes people to overlook the importance and impact of investing on their overall wealth. Financial literacy can play a big role in shifting this mindset, helping people to better understand and plan for their future. Retail Investing with Gen Z: We explore the growing popularity of retail investing, especially with Gen Z. Retail investing is where people take advantage of investing on their own rather than relying on financial institutions to manage their portfolios. AI is helping to support this trend, with easy to access financial advice being so readily available. Cross-Border Wealth Flows: Akin delves into the dynamics of what he calls cross-border wealth flows. High net worth individuals are increasingly mobile, moving their assets to financially favorable regions like Dubai and Singapore. As wealth is moving globally certain regions are looking to attract millionaires. Regulatory Pressures and Financial Literacy: Akin shares how regulatory frameworks shape the accessibility of financial knowledge and tools. This can sometimes make it challenging for people to gain financial literacy. He discusses the balance between protecting investors and maintaining open access to financial advice. The Say-Do Gap in Finance: Akin discusses the emotional aspect of finance, highlighting how people often behave differently than the way they say they will. Financial management is so emotional, and balancing that side of it is key to overall financial health. Impact of AI on Financial Advice: Generative AI is disrupting the wealth management industry by providing sophisticated, scalable investment advice to the masses. This is transforming how people engage with financial markets and has the potential to democratize financial advice for people who otherwise would not have access to it.
