FinTech North
FraudTech & Financial Crime Seminar, Manchester 13/09/2019 8:30
Financial crime is estimated to cost the UK economy £14.4 billion a year with significant impact being felt by both businesses and consumers alike. The numbers on fraud are even more shocking, with over £100 billion lost to the UK economy each year. The FCA in their 2018 survey reported that UK banks are turning away as many as 1.15 million customers per year for fraud and financial crime reasons.
What role does FinTech play in reducing this staggering loss and seizing these missed opportunities? Will the growing number of FinTechs create new opportunities for fraud and financial crime? How can these challenges be faced to continue driving sector growth whilst protecting customers?
We’re very much looking forward to answering these and many more questions on 13th September. Special thanks to RSM UK for hosting the event at their office in Manchester and to both RSM UK and MERJE for sponsoring and supporting this event.
We’ll also hear from Nesta Challenges about Open UP 2020, the £1.5M prize fund for B2C Fintechs. Read more here.
This will no doubt be a very popular event so please register in good time and don’t forget to cancel your ticket if you can no longer attend.
