Abstract
In this interview, Eric Mouilleron shares his view on the success factors for deploying financial technology (FinTech) solutions. He suggests that the tech is there to improve the ‘fin’, and that FinTech itself exists to serve clients. FinTech is about enabling and facilitating innovation in financial services. It is about becoming relevant and a priority for banks and corporates to see and derive value from all the niche, industrial FinTech offerings. Mouilleron argues that a partnership approach between FinTech and the financial services industry is essential. Where banks can provide the distribution and legacy infrastructure, FinTech providers can align with the strategic objectives of financial institutions to develop innovative solutions catering to business needs through research, development and innovative experimentation.
