Live from Money20/20 Las Vegas, host Grant Evans sits down with David Dowhan, Chief Product Officer at SavvyMoney, to explore Gen Z’s relationship with money — and what it means for the next wave of fintech innovation.With 57% of consumers worried about the economy, just 14% feeling financially confident, and 32% asking for smarter budgeting tools, they unpack how fintechs can close the gap through education, personalisation, and trust.The conversation dives into the shift from point solutions to platform plays, how AI is powering real personalization, and the impact of SavvyMoney’s recent $225M growth round in driving smarter, connected financial experiences.Plus, we add another contender to The Payments Shed’s legendary Shelf of Shame — where bad payment and fintech ideas go to die.***The Payments Shed Podcast Money 2020 interview series is sponsored by Oceanpayment.Oceanpayment is a global payment service provider enabling businesses to accept and manage payments across borders with speed, security, and reliability.
