My key message to the participants was that Fintech brought numerous opportunities but a disruption to the business as usual models.

Engrossed in delivering my messages

KPMG Frontiers in finance had nicely put it, "a perfect storm of conditions is brewing that makes financial technology (fintech) the right solution for the right conditions at the right time. And the time is now".
