Why is embedded investing the next step to wealth inclusion with Mary Agbesanwa

 Every once in a while, someone uses truly clever solutions to leapfrog forward and show us how technology can truly solve real problems.    That’s what Carmen Vicelich did with Valocity.   Carmen, a self-described data nerd, realized that a platform that brought together all the players in real estate, shortening the valuation process, and allowing for a more complete picture of neighborhoods, was long overdue.   As she set out to build it, she created a data company - Data Insight- providing both public and private entities with valuable new insights.  And she has just launched a third company, using similar tools, to help identify carbon footprints.  She takes us through the challenge, and where she hopes her solutions will go.

Utilizing payments as a tool to aim towards a more inclusive system requires more than just an extended tech stack.   There is a lot of work to be done to make payments as inclusive as possible, and that challenge has increased as our world has gone more digital and there are barriers to acquiring proper payment products.    But Joanne Dewar, former CEO of Global Payments Solutions where she remains as a board member, is just getting started.   She is on a mission, and she shared it with us.

Simon Taylor is one of the most forward thinkers and trusted movers in fintech, and last year when sanctions around SWIFT were announced, he wrote an incredibly clear and compelling explanation in his Fintech Brainfood Substack. One line stood out: “I think as Fintech Nerds, we have a real opportunity to build a better SWIFT and a better dollar global order.”

Since that was written, several events have taken place that puts the dollar as the global currency more in question than ever before- including deals to buy oil with the Chinese Yuan, and movements in digital currencies. So, we need to ask “What do we do about de-dollarization?”

The ESG space is busy, busy, busy. Sustainability is becoming a key indicator for our industry. And one of its busiest proponents is Gerrit Sindermann, the Deputy Executive Director at the Green Digital Finance Alliance, a Swiss-based non-profit promoting the next generation of green digital finance.

We spoke with Gerrit about how to get serious around the issues of environmental, social governance, and the climate agenda within fintech and digital innovation and what three big takeaways he wants to leave with the audience in the upcoming Money20/20 EU show in Amsterdam.

In December 2021, 10 nations and several international institutions participated in a simulation "war game" on the global financial networks.

It was organized and led by the Israeli Ministry of Finance, to anticipate the need for smarter international cooperation to protect systems. The goal was to prepare for the possibility of wide-spread simultaneous hacks, understand what were the key weaknesses, and find measures that could be implemented across international lines.

We spoke with Rahav Shalom-Revivo, Head of Financial-Cyber Innovation and International Engagements, about the preparation and nature of the simulation, and the key findings that can keep our world safer.  In her words "Collaboration is key in order to be able to make sure that the good guys actually win in the end."

With ChatGPT and its cousins flourishing and fleshing out our imaginations of what AI can do, there is more open scrutiny about the ethics and definitions of AI.   We will be looking to talk more about this in the coming months, but in the meantime, we wanted to revisit an episode that seems even more relevant now.

AI has a ‘black box’ issue and the lack of understanding about how such systems work can raise concerns about opacity, unfair discrimination, ethics and threats to individual privacy and autonomy. Would it be fair/acceptable if in the future AI used your digital identity and social media posts and decided you have very expensive habits and are thus unlikely to repay your debts? The new AI regulation proposed in the EU aims to address these issues by requesting processes to build, audit and safeguard AI systems. We spoke with Ismini Psychoula, Research Scientist at the OneSpann Innovation Center, about the principles behind the new regulations, and how to ensure trustworthiness and fairness in financial services.
