Named as the best overall book on banking of 2022 by Investopedia.

The finance industry is currently going through a digital revolution, with new and developing technology transforming the world of banking and financial services beyond recognition. Banks and financial institutions worldwide recognize the pressing need to innovate to avoid disruption or displacement by highly agile and often smaller fintech companies. Reinventing Banking and Finance is an essential guide for finance professionals to current trends in fintech, innovation frameworks, the challenges of outsourcing or embedding innovation, and how to effectively collaborate with other organizations.

Beginning with the history and background of how banking got to the era of fintech, the book provides a thorough overview of the global fintech ecosystem and the drivers behind innovation in technologies, business models and distribution channels. Examples of key institutions and interviews with innovators and experts shine a light on key financial innovation hubs in UK, US, China, Israel and more, and offer advice for institutions looking to choose the right market for their needs. Covering genuine innovations in AI, machine learning, blockchain and digital identity, Reinventing Banking and Finance offers expert insight into navigating the complex and multi-layered finance industry.

The authors' perspectives, derived from their first-hand knowledge of digital transformation in banking, make it a compelling read." Paolo Zaccardi, Co-Founder & CEO FABRICK, President HYPE

The radically simple neo bank model outlined is one all banks should consider as part of their transformation to a customer centric organization, while the thorough global review of fintech hubs will bring any seasoned innovator right up to date.
