What is it Really Like Working with a Fintech?

Roundtable Debate

Innovations in treasury technology and processes are vital for future-proofing the function. But how can treasurers decide who to partner with – banks, vendors or fintechs – to help implement cutting-edge solutions? Or should they innovate in-house? TMI’s Innovation Lab brought together three experts from different fields to fight their corner in this debate, while exploring how fintechs slot into the treasury ecosystem.

Roundtable participants

Gerard Tuinenburg, Director Systems, Innovations and Transactional Banking, Unilever Treasury

Mario Benedict, Head of APIs and Open Banking, EMEA- Digital Solutions, Wholesale Payments, J.P. Morgan

Zitah McMillan, Co-Founder and CEO, Predictive Black  (a fintech that offers an AI-powered financial solution to transform cash-related data into a dynamic vehicle for growth and value creation – in real-time)
