TOPICS & AGENDA

The Future of Finance

What is the future of Money? How is technology changing the way we interact with banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions? What is the future of payments and our ability to transact? We’ll attempt to answer these questions at FMC23.

Regulatory Developments

As always, we will talk about the most important Regulatory developments that were put in motion during the year in Moldova. We will talk about the latest local Open Banking, Regulatory Sandbox, and Instant Payment System legal initiatives, among other Reg topics.

Open Finance and Data

We will delve into the current state and potential of Open Banking in Moldova, and Open Finance in general, exploring its regulatory, business, and technological aspects, rawing inspiration from other markets.

Embedded Finance and SMEs

How can Embedded Finance help SMEs grow their business and improve interaction with the customer? What are the global trends and is there potential for Moldovan SMEs? Can financial institutions provide better digitalized financial services to businesses?

Fintech and Global Events

While still dealing with the effects of the pandemic, the war in Ukraine is having a huge impact on the global economy and finance sector. Markets are recovering from the downturn across the board and private tech companies are still dealing with valuation corrections. We’ll touch upon some of these topics on October 6th.

Neobanks

We will have speakers who have participated first-handedly in launching and building successful and profitable neobanks. Is the revolution finally coming, or is it just whishful thinking regarding neobanks?
