ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ
The advent of e-money licenses has been seized upon by a number of fast-growing Fintechs, who aim to disrupt existing retail and commercial financial service providers, and in particular banks, in the same way the internet has challenged many ‘bricks-and-mortar’ retailers.
The ultimate Fintech may be Meta’s proposed Diem global stablecoin. However, there are several key regulatory obstacles, such as data protection and AML. The collapse of one of the pre-eminent European Fintechs, Wirecard, has further highlighted the risks and regulatory issues.
