In the Financial Technology Pulse, we look at recent trends and performance within each theme and the outlook for the future. We delve into the top M&A and fundraising deals in Europe and look at the financial performance of public companies in each core theme, giving us an insight into the current industry landscape.
🔥 Key Highlights for August include:
InsurTech was shaken up this summer with WeFox restructuring, ex-chairman of Allianz Global Corporate and Specialty SE was appointed CEO
The new EU AI Act is pre-empting a new wave of compliance tools for the banking & wealth sector
The proposal of PSD3 (Payment Services Directive) put further emphasis on open banking compliance, encouraging tech solutions that help financial institutions adhere to evolving EU rules on data sharing and security.
