The first half of 2026 has made it clear that fintech and banking are entering a new phase. AI is changing how consumers interact with financial institutions, infrastructure is becoming a competitive advantage, and embedded finance continues to blur the lines between banks, fintechs, and technology companies.
What do these shifts mean for the rest of the year?
Join Finovate on Wednesday, July 1, at 12:00 p.m. Pacific for a live webinar featuring leading voices from banking, fintech, and market research as they discuss the trends reshaping the industry and what financial institutions should be preparing for next.
Our panelists
- Jody Bhagat, President of North America, Engine by Starling
