Good Intentions, Bad Security - Finding Footing in Fintech

With the global rise in fintech startups, a common theme we see is the goal to improve financial inclusion for people who are traditionally left out. But are the new companies in the space ready for the realities of what it means to be a financial service provider? In this episode of The Finance Frontier, host Eric Hathaway speaks with Patrick Traynor, author of the new report “Digital Finance and Data Security” and Pablo Anton Diaz, research manager at the Center for Financial Inclusion. They explore what happens when systems designed to dramatically expand financial inclusion are poorly designed and executed, and talk through what new companies need to take into account as they break into the market.
