Fintech Fridays Webinar Series

Over the last few years, we’ve seen the Australian Fintech ecosystem mature. Fintechs have surged on a wave of financial growth, market opportunities and a thriving investment environment - while being boosted by new regulatory conditions to support entrepreneurship and the rise of non-traditional finance. However, with over three quarters of Australian fintechs not yet making a profit, the COVID-19 crisis has threatened a flourishing sector, with many companies grappling with survival. This has been compounded by the subsequent market downturn, impacting the short-term viability of fintechs’ revenue and customer growth.

Fintech Fridays is here to deliver the latest insights on the Fintech sector. The exponential growth of fintechs is set to continue over the next year, with both established and new financial services brands looking to create new revenue streams and ride the wave of digitisation.

Tim Aman, BDO’s Global Fintech Leader, combines his wealth of global knowledge with additional insights from high-profile industry guests to present a lively conversation on the sector. Topics for discussion include customer acquisition, blockchain, capital raising and IPOs, open banking, payments, and taking a fintech global.
