Each week, Tim Tyler and Christopher Papathanassi take a pause, brew a coffee and spend 30 minutes talking about all things Fintech. With the odd guest popping in to share their opinion, Tim and Chris give their open and honest views about financial technology. With a combined 50 years in the industry, and continuing to engage with financial institutions and other tech partners around the world, the pair are well placed to catch the latest trends, and bring an eye to the future.
Fintech Fika is live at 12 noon UK each Wednesday on LinkedIn, and released on audio platforms shortly after.
