    Melissa Koide, Gilles Gade, Sima Gandhi, Sahil Kini, Craig Schachter, Rachel Bronson, Aaron Pakles, Lee Hutter

    Moderated by Melissa Coit, a panel of global fintech leaders debated the balance between top-down regulatory frameworks and bottom-up market demands in the evolution of open banking. The discussion highlighted divergent regional models, contrasting India's public infrastructure-driven success with the fragmented, principle-based approach in the US, while addressing the critical need for consumer data ownership and liability clarity. Participants concluded that modernizing legacy core banking systems and establishing clear consent mechanisms are essential to enable real-time data flow and prevent market consolidation from stifling innovation.

    Jackson Mueller, Henri Dommel, Rory Eakin, Sahil Kini, Valery Vavilov, Craig Vosburg, PETER BARRON, NICOLAS GARCIA, JACKSON GABOURY, RORY KAUFMANN, David

    Speakers from the Milken Institute, MasterCard, CircleUp, and Bitfury detailed how financial technology is transitioning from theoretical potential to measurable global impact by bringing billions of unbanked individuals into the formal economy. Through initiatives ranging from India's Aadhaar and UPI systems to MasterCard's social benefit digitization and blockchain-based asset registries, these organizations have demonstrated significant GDP growth and reduced transaction costs for underbanked populations. Furthermore, the deployment of alternative data for credit underwriting and regulatory sandboxes is enabling agile lending models that support micro-entrepreneurs and small businesses previously excluded by traditional banking systems.

    FinTech: Disrupting the Future of Banking and Finance

    Neal Cross, Sahil Kini, Dave McClure, Jon Medved, Sopnendu Mohanty, Chris Wei

    This panel featured leaders from DBS, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and major financial institutions like Aviva and R-Crowd to analyze the global shift from adversarial disruption to collaborative FinTech integration. Speakers highlighted how India's public digital infrastructure and Singapore's regulatory sandbox approach are enabling scalable innovation, while warning of risks associated with legacy security models and rapid capital deployment in emerging markets. The consensus predicts that traditional banking branches will disappear within a decade as high-frequency platforms like WeChat or potential tech giants absorb financial services, forcing institutions to compete on backend efficiency rather than consumer interface.
