Fintech Unbound: The Cato Summit on Financial Regulation – San Francisco

September 12, 2018 @ 8:00 am - 2:00 pm PDT

The financial services industry is undergoing a transformation: technology is enabling financial institutions and startups to reach underserved communities, lower the cost of banking and investing, and increase access to capital. As fintech fosters financial inclusion and access, how can regulation accommodate innovation while protecting consumers? Cato’s Fourth Annual Summit on Financial Regulation will bring together leading practitioners, policy experts, and regulators to grapple with key policy questions at the intersection of technology and financial services—and to discuss the positive role that policy change can play in reaping the benefits from the ongoing revolution in banking, capital markets, and the emerging crypto economy.
