"Fintechs need to start embracing regulation and security. Fintechs that proactively champion this are the ones that can build trust among consumers and investors — and prove they're in it for the long haul."

“The next great fintech companies will be in enterprise software. They’re going to target the dinosaur solutions that we don’t have a choice but to use today. It’s the tech that runs your whole company, so there’s a big prize for whoever can claim this category in Europe.”
