Hot or Not? FinovateWest Digital Heat Checks Top Fintech Trends

How have the major secular trends in fintech been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis?

In his afternoon presentation at FinovateWest Digital, November 23 through 25, Jacob Jegher, President of Javelin Strategy and Research, will take a close look at which innovations in fintech are moving the needle in terms of boosting customer engagement, creating efficiencies, and helping financial institutions and financial service providers grow revenues.

Formerly Vice President of Global Solution Marketing and Head of Analyst Relations at FIS and, before that, serving for more than a decade as Research Director for Celent, Jegher brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in the banking technology industry. In addition to being widely cited in both mainstream and financial media – including The Wall Street Journal, The Globe and Mail, Bloomberg, and The New York Times – Jegher is a judge and coach at the Innotribe Startup Challenge.

“There are so many different pieces that (fintechs and financial institutions) have to watch out for in changing times,” Jegher told Finovate VP Greg Palmer during the Finovate Podcast earlier this year. “Pitfalls today include: how do you manage your budget and your cash flow associated with investment? What are you going to decide to keep pushing the envelope on and what’s going to get cut back? It’s just a realistic point of view given what’s taking place with company budgets – whether they are fintechs or financial institutions.”
