Reflecting on a successful Money20/20 USA, TrueNorth emerges with key takeaways from all of the thought-provoking discussions and exchanges last week: 🚀 Navigating the inception stages of a fintech venture is increasingly challenging, necessitating more profound investments, particularly in #compliance and #fraudprevention amidst escalating costs. 🔥 The temperature is rising around compliance, anticipating a surge in scrutiny, especially concerning bank-fintech-BaaS partnerships. Expect impact on cost structures, operational complexities, and changes in business models. 🌊 A transformative wave is cascading over the realm of #payments, introducing an epoch of real-time, bank-to-bank transactions alongside the prevailing card and P2P payments, echoing the rising necessity for accelerated exchanges. 🏆 Victory in the #fintech arena seems destined for those who create value for their customers, paving the way for a future where market primacy and funding will flourish when the market horizons and IPO realms rejuvenate. 💸 #Crypto is taking a back seat, with limited exhibitors present. The focus seemed narrowed, centering more on stable coins and specific use cases, indicating a nuanced shift in the crypto conversation within the fintech sphere. ⭐️ Here's to the promising future that awaits the fintech industry, and continuing to enable #innovation and excellence!
