Transformations in Banking, Finance and Regulation
FINANCE WITH A PURPOSE
FinTech, Development and Financial Inclusion in the Global Economy
by Frederic de Mariz (Columbia University, USA) This book tells the story of entrepreneurs, companies, investors, researchers and regulators who are building the financial services of tomorrow and the mechanisms that will allow us as a society to fulfill the promise of inclusion. There are still challenges to overcome, particularly high levels of informality, subpar quality in financial services, and low levels of financial education. Regulators play a crucial role to foster inclusion, proposing sandboxes and stepping up their efforts against risks triggered by technology such as monopolistic behavior, consumer protection and cybercrime. Finance with a Purpose combines the theory in the fields of economics, finance and law with the practice of financial institutions, corporates, households and investors. By combining the latest academic research with ample professional experience in emerging markets, this book is essential for policymakers, scholars, and any reader who wants to understand the recent progress in financial inclusion and how it can be used to alleviate inequality and foster economic development. Featured Contents: The Promise of Open Banking; Benefits and Limits of Financial Inclusion; Microcredit 15 Years After the Nobel Prize; Electronic Payments as Entry Point for Inclusion; Cryptocurrencies: A Natural Evolution for Payments?; The End of Branches as We Know Them; Using Data While Respecting Customers’ Rights; and others. Readership: Advanced undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and practitioners.

Excellence Unlocked in Singapore
by Varun Mittal (Ernst & Young, Singapore) & Lillian Koh (FinTech Academy, Singapore) Singapore’s FinTech journey has been a story of relentless pursuit of excellence to build a global financial service hub with limited means and lots of aspirations. The slogan of “Dream big. Start small. Move fast” has rallied regulators, startups, investors, corporates and everyone else to achieve a common goal. Singapore attracts people across the region to build their ventures in the domains of finance and technology. This book traces Singapore’s journey from 2015 till today starting with establishment of regional hubs and globalisation of FinTech innovation. The key principles which established Singapore as a FinTech Nation have been an obsession with excellence referred to as RFFL (Right First, Fast Later), a unique model of economic and legal policies known as Singanomics and lastly, an organised and controlled model of a new idea development termed Garden Innovation.
