Fidor Bank introduced community banking five years ago. We embraced bitcoin and Ripple two years ago.

Why it’s a must see

Most fintechs still need banks because of regulation and processing. Fidor Bank provides both regulatory support and strong technology. The presentation will show the ease and beauty of Fidor’s APIs. Weib will share important learnings from one year of developing and providing APIs in a high-risk environment.
