From iconic liveries to memorable, yet farcical characters, Formula One has a rich, colourful, and yet troubled past with sponsors. With global brands such as Marlboro, Vodafone, and Petronas weaving their way into the annuls of the sport’s history, it is no surprise that many FinTechs have tried to do so too. Renowned names, in the form of Visa and Cash App, being the latest, as they penned a controversial deal to rebrand Alpha Tauri under a new guise and moniker: Visa Cash App RB Formula One Team. Ahead of the 2024 season, FinTech Global investigates whether there is any correlation between performance on track – and success in the business world. 

As we enter the first month of 2024, FinTech Global spoke to Hari Menon, Partner, SVP and ESG Product Head at AI-powered wealth management solution IntellectAI, about the major ESG trends of 2023 and his predictions for 2024.

In an era defined by rapid technological strides, the insurance industry stands on the cusp of an extraordinary evolution, heralding a new dawn through the prospect of a digital transformation. Amidst this profound change, the sector has emerged as a haven of innovation, embracing a digital metamorphosis that promises a new beginning in the space.  

A recent study from Theta Lake, a pioneer in digital communications governance, found that 69% of IT and compliance professionals expect the use of unified communication and collaboration (UCC) tools to increase in 2024. With firms using an average of 4.6 communication and collaboration tools, it is evident that UCC tools have become an embedded and essential part of modern business, but firms must ensure they are compliantly getting the full value of these tools.

FinTech Global spoke to the change-makers in the RegTech industry to understand the possible challenges and opportunities this year.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) has become an important topic across business. It has become an increased priority, not only to meet customer demands, but also an increasingly complex regulatory environment. Regulators around the world are expanding the legal frameworks around ESG. The EU’s European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) is probably the ESG regulation at the top of the priority list for many, but there are several others on the horizon.

FinTech Global recently spoke to okey players in the RegTech industry to see what they saw as some of the most hot-button trends.

As another year starts, it is the time to look ahead and attempt to predict what is to come and the biggest trends for the WealthTech sector in 2024.
