EDITORS NOTE

In the latest issue of The Fintech Times newspaper, fintech leaders share their view from the top on ways we can drive the fintech industry forward.

During the second half of 2022, questions over whether fintech was ‘losing its lustre’ have started to proliferate with news of multiple job layoffs and recruitment freezes across the industry and a lack of funding either stunting growth or leading to companies packing up shop completely.

To start 2023 on a more optimistic note, CEOs from across the fintech community provide insight into how we can move fintech forward in the coming new year.
