      <image:caption>Fantasy Valuations End, Banks Go Shopping &amp; Crypto is Reborn 2023 is underway, and as is becoming the norm, uncertainty is the dominant theme. One question is whether this year could be even more unstable than 2022? From the economic slowdown and even recession in most of the world, the socio-political impact of inflation and its unexpected consequences, to the ongoing war in Ukraine, the outlook appears bleak. The only positive news is that political leaders across the globe are starting to behave like technocrats not autocrats. In countries as diverse as Brazil, Italy and China, much of the fiery rhetoric of the past few years is being toned down.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This year’s election looks set to be a fractious confrontation that centres on huge policy considerations such as cost of living, the NHS and immigration.

      <image:caption>World leaders gathered at the Davos World Economic Forum in January and told us what we already know – that the global economy is still highly volatile. Geopolitical conflicts, disruption to Red Sea trade routes, high-profile elections, energy price hikes and the ongoing climate crisis were just a few of the factors cited by policymakers and thought leaders as contributing to the current sense of unpredictability and fragility.</image:caption>

Nella maggior parte dei Paesi europei il cellulare è diventato la principale interfaccia tra banca e cliente.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Over the last decade, so-called “challenger” banks like Monzo, Starling and Revolut have served as beacons of opportunity, promising a new way of banking. This has prompted their predecessors — the incumbents — to undergo several phases of digital transformation; something I watched first-hand when I was a digital exec at Lloyds Bank.</image:caption>

      <image:title>New Articles - Fantasy Valuations End, Banks Go Shopping &amp; Crypto is Reborn</image:title>
      <image:caption>2023 is underway, and as is becoming the norm, uncertainty is the dominant theme. One question is whether this year could be even more unstable than 2022? From the economic slowdown and even recession in most of the world, the socio-political impact of inflation and its unexpected consequences, to the ongoing war in Ukraine, the outlook appears bleak. The only positive news is that political leaders across the globe are starting to behave like technocrats not autocrats. In countries as diverse as Brazil, Italy and China, much of the fiery rhetoric of the past few years is being toned down.</image:caption>

      <image:title>New Articles - Dear banks: this is why you're still losing out to fintechs</image:title>
      <image:caption>Covid-19 reshaped how customers interact with their banks forever — but has anyone told the banks? At recent banking innovation events including Money 2020 and the Paris Fintech Forum, we found banks still focused mainly on improving the present, not creating the future. Like a carriages conference in 1895, everyone was thinking about making the horses faster and not how to use cars.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Fantasy Valuations End, Banks Go Shopping &amp; Crypto is Reborn 2023 is underway, and as is becoming the norm, uncertainty is the dominant theme. One question is whether this year could be even more unstable than 2022? From the economic slowdown and even recession in most of the world, the socio-political impact of inflation and its unexpected consequences, to the ongoing war in Ukraine, the outlook appears bleak. The only positive news is that political leaders across the globe are starting to behave like technocrats not autocrats. In countries as diverse as Brazil, Italy and China, much of the fiery rhetoric of the past few years is being toned down.</image:caption>

At recent banking innovation events including Money 2020 and the Paris Fintech Forum, we found banks still focused mainly on improving the present, not creating the future.
