Podcasts about financial services sector

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Ron Rock, Managing Director for the Financial Services Sector at JobsOhio. When you think "FinTech hub," your mind might automatically jump to Silicon Valley or New York. But there’s a powerhouse in the heartland that's giving these coastal giants a run for their money: Ohio. In our conversation today, we'll unpack why Ohio – a state that puts you within a two-hour flight of 75% of the U.S. and Canadian financial services industry – might just be the strategic move your startup needs to make. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ohio has the 4th largest financial services economy in the US, so if you’re looking for partnerships, the market, people that’ll have a conversation with you, the operating costs will be a lot less than they are on the coasts in New York and California. If you’re a graduate in IT thinking about going into an IT profession, maybe it’s time to think about financial services. If you can do that kind of developing, programming or coding there’s a lot of opportunity in InsurTech and FinTech. There are a few different pillars you have to have for growth. The first is the economy in the state, which we do. Then, you have to have the ecosystem of players – the investors, large companies, startups that have found footing, and then the talent in that ecosystem has to be there as well. When we look at the talent that needs to fill the jobs of the future in financial services, we have to make sure the curriculums are up to par, including AI and low-code environments. We’re not a one-size-fits-all, we have programmes that didn’t fit earlier stage companies. We looked at that and how we could support formally and informally and now we have 3 innovation across the state. These give support whether that’s proximity to other innovators to incentives like JobsOhio growth Cap to support earlier state companies. BEST MOMENTS ‘London and Mid-Western states have similar mentalities with amicable relationships. We find a way to make something happen.’ ‘Startups have found footing in Ohio because of the climate we’re in, we don’t have large catastrophes or losses, so if you’re testing a new product or company you have that in your favour.’ ‘Ohio is a microcosm of a larger market, almost like a sandbox in which you can pay before you launch.’ ‘I call myself a connector, or facilitator, it’s the core of my job. I have to know the industry but I’ll never get deep into knowing exactly what the industry is doing. So I stay in my lane and make connections to the right individuals, listen to companies, and introduce people.’ ABOUT THE GUEST Ron Rock is a forward-thinking business management executive and Managing Director of JobsOhio’s Financial Services Sector. With over two decades of experience spanning financial services, insurance, economic development, and process improvement, Ron is renowned for creating and executing strategic growth plans that boost market share, elevate customer loyalty, and broaden service offerings.

Episode 216: NEFE in November. Part 4 Have you experienced bias, discrimination, or exclusion by or from organizations, institutions or individuals within the financial services sector? A recent NEFE poll found that minority households are more likely to experience discrimination or feel blocked from the financial sector. It could be having a loan declined or offered less favorable terms than white households. These are just some of the many ways that financial discrimination presents itself. So what can we do about it? This month we're celebrating the 30th anniversary of the National Endowment for Financial Education. To honor this special event, I've invited some of the team from NEFE to discuss some of the most recent topics and statistics from polls they have conducted that are impacting the personal finance space. We also talk about how financial literacy helped shape their personal lives.

It's no secret that we live in a digital data age. Data is critical for the present and future of automation, AI, IoT, analytics etc. As decisions become more automated, data integrity becomes even more crucial. The cyber security market size was valued at $149.67 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach $304.91 billion by 2027. Data is the “new gold” and… where you find gold you'll find people who want to steal it. Forgery and hacking is a growing problem in the data world. Enter Q by SoLVBL™'s Patented Technology Q by SoLVBL™ operates dramatically faster and at lower latency than the alternative today, Digital Ledger Technology (DLT)—commonly referred to as Blockchain. This in turn enables data uses and applications DLT does not support. The Q by SoLVBL™ protocol produces a unique digital seal for each submitted record. This seal, in correlation with the record for which it was issued, can be used to: Prove the record has not been altered since the seal was issued Link the record to the possessor of a private signing key, i.e. an identity Determine relative ordering of records sealed in this manner Uniquely identify an instance of the record by way of its seal (each seal reflects an instance) Third-Party Validation... The company recently announced the Successful Completion of Amazon Web Services Technical Review of Q by SoLVBL(TM). The review confirmed Q by SoLVBL's, security, reliability and operational excellence while reducing overall operational workload risk for cloud-based applications. In addition, the company signed its first (MoU) in the Financial Services Sector, with QuantGate Systems to Develop a Program for Data Security. "We are certain that SoLVBL Solutions' collaboration with QuantGate will yield a comprehensive cybersecurity solution for QuantGate's technology service platform, answering a growing global cyber threat. We believe this will be the first of many such opportunities in the financial services vertical, and one that we realized was needed and doable in our ongoing conversations with the QuantGate team. Together we realized the need for this level of data protection in this sector," said Kaiser Akbar, President & CEO of SoLVBL Solutions. But wait, there's more. SoLVBL signed an (MoU) with Empower Clinics to Develop a Program for Data Security in Diagnostic Testing. The company aims to develop a cyber security program to detect cyber-attacks and provide data security to the diagnostic testing programs used by Empower. Sit back and watch this powerful interview.

In this interview, titled Mindful Financial Services, we hear from Brendan Llewellyn, Strategic Consultant to the Financial Services Sector. Brendan has been actively consulting and leading at senior levels for over 20 years and has a strong business ethic, which we’ll hear about. Brendan regularly writes for the trade papers, on a wide range of issues and topics, so who better to discuss with us, the shape of the financial services industry and how it might look very different, some say, more mindful, on the other side of the current situation. Today we will be discussing the topic of “ ‘More’ Mindful Financial Services”, as we explore how the financial services industry needs to rethink/re-imagine itself to keep up with the growing tide of mindful businesses and the potential for a new economic paradigm. Many economists and commentators are research, forecasting and predicting what might happen and of course, nobody knows, in these unprecedented times. So we discuss a range of topics and delve into how mindfulness might pervade a new paradigm in the industry, which has until now, been very much based purely upon financial returns. It’s very interesting to hear an insider’s perspective on what has the potential to be a fascinatingly different industry on the other side of COVID-19 and how this will impact on us all.

Great conversation with Serina Shyu!

In this episode, we chat with Flavio Bergamaschi from IBM research about Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). FHE allows for computation on encrypted data. First developed in 2009 at IBM, this tech has long been the considered only theoretically possible. However, as we learn in the interview, there have been strides made in the last few years and we are starting to see FHE technology being used in some real world applications. In this interview, we discuss the origin of the technology, what it is, how it can be combined with other cryptographic techniques such as MPC and ZKPs, and applications for FHE technology being explored today.

The IRF Top Performers Study: Financial Services Sector study identifies the non-cash rewards strategies and tactics used by top performing financial services firms. The study also provides benchmarks and best practices to help financial services firms design effective non-cash rewards programs. During our latest webinar, Mel Van Dyke, IRF President discusses findings from the data collected across multiple financial services firms and compares the results of top performing financial services firms to those of average performing financial services firms. While the findings in this webinar are specific to the financial services industry, they are also aligned with what IRF is seeing in other verticals.

When it comes to seeing what is coming down the line in financial services, the sector’s wide range of industry conferences is a great place to start. These events, such as Money 2020 in Amsterdam last month, see thousands of people attend, speaking about what is new in banking, showing off their latest innovations and debating the trends likely to shape the sector’s future. For BBVA it is a chance to start collaborations with the kind of fast growth disruptive fintech businesses that we believe will better help our customers and clients achieve their ambitions and make the best use of both their data and financial assets. It's also a fantastic opportunity to share some of the bank’s thinking around how we are transforming from being a bank to a trusted advisor and the critical importance of openness in the sector. Perhaps more importantly, to hear from leaders in their field about where they think the industry is heading. In this Podcast we are going to do exactly that - and to explore two key areas that are shaping the future of the banking industry and that will ultimately affect how we bank in the future: Firstly, the technological data-driven trends emerging in the sector, for example how the shift from closed to open can give life to new industry verticals like banking as a service. And secondly, how the relationship model between big banks like BBVA and fast growth start-up companies is changing and what this might mean for customers.

Banks and financial services organizations of all sizes are now more concerned than ever about cybersecurity risk and compliance management. The scope and nature of managing compliance have evolved and are no longer limited to rules-based banking regulations. Operational and compliance risks have become more complex and entwined, increasing the potential for failed processes that cause customer confusion and compliance control breakdowns. Without a new approach to cyber risk, compliance and operational risk management, many financial services institutions will continue to face high costs and losses in the form of escalating litigation, penalties, and staffing needs. Join the Continuous Engineering Experts’ Bryan Smith as he welcomes Bradford Leigh from IBM to the show, as he shares with us some best practices in how to successfully manage your cyber security and compliance requirements. Short on time? Just click on any of the links below and jump to that section of the interview: 0:01:30 – From an institutional perspective, why the hype? Why are Cyber Criminals targeting the Financial Services Sector? 0:07:00 – What has the reaction been from regulators and from the Finance industry? 0:08:27 – Hasn’t CyberRisk and NY Department of Financial Services (NY DFS Rule 500) been addressed? Where are firms with their implementations? 0:10:55 - What is IBM’s solution? I thought that IBM’s Solution (Watson IoT) CLM is a tool for software development? How does managing compliance and cybersecurity fit with Watson IoT? 0:14:43 – So what is missing? What do companies need to do to better manage their cyber risk and compliance programs? 0:19:45 – Can you give us an example of a client who has taken these tools from IBM and then used them to successfully meet these regulatory mandates?

For the past several decades, major banks and enterprises have been centralizing the storage of user pins, passwords, credit card numbers and biometric data, which has made that information vulnerable to security breaches, cyber-attacks and single points of failure. When the security of centralized repositories is breached, millions of people are affected, and with a dollar metric for each lost password or incident of fraud, major enterprises can end up losing millions of dollars every year. HYPR is bringing a solution: the implementation of decentralized authentication in the mobile payments, retail banking and insurance space. Rather than storing user credentials in one location, the idea behind decentralized authentication is to securely isolate and encrypt user credentials on personal biometric mobile devices. By decentralizing the storage of this data, attacks on user information would have to happen one by one, rather than through a single attack on an enterprise. “HYPR has made decentralized authentication possible for major banks and enterprises like Mastercard…where mobile payments are secured with decentralized authentication powered by HYPR, so you may be HYPR-secured through one of your mobile banking applications, and you just don't know it,” says George Avetisov, CEO of HYPR. Tune in for an exciting discussion that includes topics such as behavioral biometrics, biometric ATMs, and the growing interest in applying decentralized authentication to the IOT space.

While bankers may not top the poll as Britain’s most popular members of society, would we be bankrupt without them? With London’s status as the No 1 financial centre in the world uncertain there are warnings that the knock-on effect could cripple the UK economy. But is this just inflated opinion? One man who has more of a handle on these matters than most is campaigning financial journalist Simon Read. Simon is currently on a round Britain tour filming monet stories for the BBC, but joined Tim after a two-day stint in Halifax to outline just how important financial services are to Britain’s present and future. Agree or disagree with Simon’s views, we’d love to hear your feedback. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics

Hear how Eileen started Informed Training and has helped many financial advisers embed CRM into their businesses. Listen to the passion Eileen has for marrying CRM with culture and business processes to create successful and profitable relationships.
