Our team just got back from Fintech Meetup in Las Vegas and wanted to share some highlights for those unable to attend or connect with us in person this year.
⌛ Speed dating: Fintech Meetup is famous for its format. Instead of lengthy talks, attendees participate in speed dating, meeting with up to 24 other individuals for 15 minutes each. We got to meet a lot of people and hear about interesting initiatives across fintech. There was no being a loner at the bar at this conference!
🍀 Financial wellness: Personal financial management was front and center throughout the conference. Fintechs demoed products that drive financial health and wellness with smarter budgeting, saving, and investing experiences for consumers. The theme resonated with us given our focus on helping fintechs and payroll providers provide year-round tax insights which have enabled users to increase their paychecks by an average of $500+ per year.
🤝 Finservs need partnerships to grow: Many of the attendees from financial services companies were looking for fintechs they could partner with or embed to strengthen their existing products and services. “The game has changed,” one speaker said. “We can’t think traditionally any longer where you just build it all yourself.”
