Fintech for Good Programme Launched to Highlight Growing Benefits of Fintech in Our Day to Day Lives

As everyday lives become more reliant on financial technology, FINTECH Circle and ITN Business have produced a news-style programme, Fintech for Good. This programme will highlight the importance of fintech and the work the sector is doing to improve people’s lives.

The programme highlights how fintech is empowering consumers by simplifying people’s financial lives whilst creating jobs, promoting climate responsibility with green fintech and helping to achieve greater financial inclusion. Fintech for Good also explores embedded finance and addresses the negative perceptions that people are no longer in control of their budgets.

Anchored by presenter and journalist, Duncan Golestani, the programme features interviews from the ITN London studios with industry thought leaders including Susanne Chishti, CEO of FINTECH Circle, discussing the pension timebomb, and the opportunities and challenges for the future of fintech.

Following the latest figures from banking body UK Finance that cash will account for only six per cent of payments within the next ten years, Fintech for Good will also explore how this greater reliance on technology for payments will affect social mobility within societies.

Hosted on FINTECH Circle’s website and YouTube channel, the programme also features reporter-led sponsored editorial profiles from the following organisations:

Shining a light on positive impact

Susanne Chishti, CEO of FINTECH Circle said: ”Financial technology innovation across global payments, insurance and decentralised finance – as shown in this film – expands our sense of the possible. So much of the future is already with us.

“We got inspired by these companies who pre-empt client demand, interact with customers in the way they want and view innovation as an opportunity for our society. A big thank you to ITN Business for being the best partner to tell these inspiring stories.”
