If you missed the talk, below are some key points: ? - Strategic collaborations ?? Partnerships between fintechs and incumbent banks play a critical role in the sector's success. ? - Tech trends ?? Hyper-personalization and open banking are empowering customers through tailored insights and enhanced financial management tools. ? - AI in financial services ?? AI is being leveraged by banks to help keep customers safe (e.g. transaction monitoring) and support teams to drive operational efficiencies (e.g. AI CoPilots). ? - Customer impact ?? Fintech innovations are leading to faster services and more competitive offerings, yet with more choice comes greater complexity, highlighting the need to balance innovation with simplicity. ? - Regulatory landscape ??

??The BDM team in Manchester spent yesterday working for their local depot of charity, The Bread and Butter Thing. Their day started with preparing pallets of fresh and packaged food, loading them into the vans to be dispersed to the community hubs around Manchester, Ellesmere Port and Stoke-On-Trent. ????Once the vans had left the depot, they moved on to hand shovelling 4-5 tonnes of potatoes into smaller quantities for the eventual recipients. It was hard work, but every scoop brought us closer to making a difference in our community! ???? What makes The Bread and Butter Thing so special? They provide affordable access to food for families who need a helping hand. By partnering with major supermarkets, they save countless items from going to waste and offer them at discounted prices. This means families can enjoy quality meals without the financial strain. ?? Want to learn more about their amazing work?
