Convoy FinTech Forum

By

FinTech Neat Planto Convoy I had a very fruitful discussion with 2 great FinTech start-ups, Neat and Planto, today in Convoy FinTech Forum. The topic was how to stay ahead of competitions from hundreds of FinTech start-ups, financial services institutions, tech giants stepping into this game, etc.

That’s my key takeaways.

1. Be focus
2. Find the real pain and solve it better
3. Collaborate with the right FIs based on risk appetite, legacy, systems complexity, FI’s regional coverage (it helps u scale easier)
4. Leverage on their brands and reputation
5. Find key sponsors and engage well
6. Find a way to get around the legacy, compliance and procurement rigidity through trust building and your sponsors
7. FI’s FinTech and Innovation need help as they may not be in a very favorable position in their organizations. They may be unstable and you need to have contingency plan.

My last question to them was how to sustain your competitive advantage and the response was “Customer Focus”. It is in fact very true.

Big Data describes extremely large volumes of data (both structured and unstructured) that upon analysis can reveal patterns, associations, and trends in the data set. Big Data inundates business on a day-to-day basis. What enterprises do with this huge amount of data is far more important than the amount of data in itself. Big Data insights lead to better decision making and strategic business moves.
