Latina GRIT on Wall Street with Bank of America’s Patricia Pacheco De Baez


Bank of America’s Patricia Pacheco De Baez has grit. She learned it from her fierce Latina mother, who taught her to work hard and strive for excellence – something Patricia has carried with her throughout her career journey. Patricia started as a temp in the financial industry, always grateful for every opportunity she was given – whether big or small. All she needed was a “foot in the door.” Once there, she began to stand out and advocate for herself early in her career. At the age of 25, she did her research, gathered up the courage to ask for pay equity, and got it. It’s easy to see how she’s moved up the career ladder. Patricia currently holds the title of Managing Director for NYC Private Bank, Market Leader & Diverse Segment Champion at Bank of America.

Listen as Patricia walks us through her professional journey and how she learned not to give up on her dream. She’s a big proponent of mentors and sponsors and practices being open and honest with them, so they get the most out of their time together. Patricia is a risk taker and isn’t afraid to make big moves, and she shares with us why she thinks working hard and striving for excellence are the keys to success.

Banks to Seize Your Money in Coming Financial Crisis Warns David Morgan


The world is going to have another banking crisis but the next time around, the banks are going to take depositors’ money via a “bail-in.” This is the latest theory from respected market watcher, David Morgan of The Morgan Report.

Morgan tells our Daniela Cambone, “The bailout situation is over. It will be bail-ins next time, which means you become an unsecured creditor of the bank. This means that if you don’t hold it, you may not own it. If we were to have a bail-in, they may not take all of your currency, but they would probably take part of it.”

Morgan compares the situation to Argentina; “All the money in their banks was still yours, but you were limited to what you could take out.”

What is Open Banking? | 11:FS Explores


Open Banking in the UK has generally been a success! Intended to spur competition and give consumers greater control over their banking information, the initiative relies on standardised APIs to help fintechs access customer data from CMA9 banks. Just recently Barclays has used Open Banking to allow customers to make payments from accounts with other banks, and it looks like more incumbents will follow suit in the future. Open Banking has also given fintech companies an edge, as they’ve been able to tailor propositions from scratch to take advantage of the initiative’s unique opportunities.

So what are the basics of Open Banking, and what role do AISPs, PISPs and the OBIE play in bringing new entrants to the market? 11:FS Head of Delivery Adam Davis explains the initiative’s overall goals and key players.

Blockchain Technology Is Disrupting Online Financial Trading And Eliminating Fraud


http://spectretrading.com Broker-less trading markets for forex, commodities, stocks, cryptos and other assets being launched on the blockchain are emerging as a kinder, fairer and potentially more lucrative market for traders. Decentralized exchanges are not only eliminating broker fees but also solving the main challenge of online trading and cryptocurrency exchanges: a lack of liquidity. An alternative to trading exchanges, prediction markets are like manna from heaven, with at least one blockchain trading platform providing deep liquidity pools.

What all blockchain trading platforms have in common is the elimination of the broker. Traditionally, trading has been a zero sum game. When brokers match orders, they take the other side of the trade. If the trader wins, the broker loses, and vice versa. This model gives brokers an incentive to manipulate fees and trading outcomes, and delay payments. In the foreign exchange markets, 60–70 percent of retail traders lose money, and up to 80 percent abandon FX trading within a year.

Eliminating the middleman reduces all forms of financial fraud, a multi-billion dollar problem in a range of trading verticals every year. Both Blockchain exchanges and peer-to-peer prediction markets are designed to dis-intermediate the broker. Blockchain technology removes B-Book brokerages and replace them with immutable smart contracts. Blockchain technology is addressing a major need with prediction market platforms by preventing many forms of global financial fraud.

http://spectretrading.com SPECTRE, short for speculative tokenised trading exchange, is a dramatically different approach to the classic, fraud-ridden financial trading model where brokers regularly tamper with platforms, engaging in unethical behavior with financial traders and clients. Examples of this behavior include tampering with price feeds, slippage, freezing withdrawals and trading on the client’s behalf without permission. Instances of fraud are rife across the binary options, forex and online trading industry with regulators across the globe struggling to contain the problem.

SPECTRE, built ground up on the Ethereum blockchain, removes the financial broker out of the equation entirely and through the creation of novel, private escrow smart contracts along with a decentralized, autonomous liquidity pool, removes the need for deposits as well. This means that traders around the globe can engage with the financial markets, be it binary/digital options or trading FX and other asset classes, without human intervention. The Ethereum blockchain allow SPECTRE to disrupt the classic trading model and remove the broker out of the picture entirely. The conditional, decentralized and autonomous liquidity pool that is owned by the public (not SPECTRE) and rewards the public in the form of dividends, brings a new era of transparency into global financial trading. Traditional financial trading scenarios see traders trade directly against the broker’s balance sheet, creating a range of conflicts of interest and moral hazards. Financial fraud in trading is a multi-billion dollar problem each year. The Spectre platform solves this problem.

Ants Accelerate – Alibaba’s Blockchain Arm Goes into Overdrive


Ant Group, the blockchain and e-pay subsidiary of Chinese tech giant Alibaba, is accelerating its business operations with the launch of a new cross-border trade blockchain platform, stepping up its bid to go public – and has sealed a key deal with the busiest container port on the planet. Ant, which also operates the Alipay e-payment platform, has dubbed the platform Trusple, and will debut it on the Ant-developed Antchain blockchain network, the company said in their press release. The firm will allow exporting and importing firms to place trading orders on Trusple, which will then automatically create smart contracts, including logistics-related information – allowing banks to process payments on the network.”Trusple was designed to solve problems for SMEs and financial institutions involved in cross-border trading,” Guofei Jiang, President of Advanced Technology Business Group, Ant Group, was quoted as saying in the announcement. Global e-commerce sites, including Alibaba’s AliExpress, could make use of the platform, Reuters said. It added that a “blockbuster” initial public offering (IPO) is slated for next month, with “plans to list simultaneously in Hong Kong and on Shanghai’s tech-heavy STAR Market next month.” The Ant listing, the news agency added, could be the world’s IPO, “surpassing oil giant Saudi Aramco’s USD 29.4bn float” in December last year. Ant is aiming to generate USD 35m from its own IPO bid. But the Ant action does not stop there. Per Shanghai Securities News, the Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG) also wants in. The group operates the Port of Shanghai, the busiest container port in the world for the past decade or so, per World Shipping Council figures. The new deal will see SIPG work with the Ant Group on a number of blockchain-powered logistics and shipping projects, including smart port construction drives, cross-chain interoperability solutions for firms and ports that operate on different blockchain networks and work on “solutions that provide the efficient flow of digital assets and enable multi-party collaboration with financial institutions.”Meanwhile, as reported earlier this month, Alibaba has published 10 times more patents than IBM this year alone.___Learn more: Ant Group Explains What its 100m per Day ‘Digital Assets’ Uploads Are

Investing in FinTech with an Impact, With Eric Hazard of Vested Ventures


Karen Rands is joined by Eric Hazard of Vested Ventures to discuss what “financial literacy” really means and why “fintech” is uniquely qualified to help provide it — and how Compassionate Capitalists, angel investors, can make money while investing in companies that are solving social and economic inequality.  The lack of financial literacy has created a market ripe for predatory consumer lending abuse with payday lending schemes and the structure of private student loans.  You can trace the greed of certain financial institutions whom preyed on the financial naivete of people of color and first time home buyers with those crazy no money down balloon mortgages, leading to the real estate bubble and great recession 20 years ago. 

In this podcast / video cast you will learn: 
– The basic definition of FinTech and how it has evolved
– Why financial literacy begins with financial access
– How FinTech can strengthen relationships between businesses and their employees & customers, and be a force for good
– Why Vested Ventures is investing and accelerating in FinTech companies and how you can invest and succeed as well

Eric Hazard is a financial technology and communications veteran, and the CEO Vested Ventures. Eric holds a certificate in Fintech from MIT and is the host of the online video series Focus on Fintech.

The 2019 Payments Canada SUMMIT – Democratizing credit with AI


Speakers: Yves-Gabriel Leboeuf, Flinks
David Furlong, National Bank
Stephen Gardiner, Accenture Digital

Most people need loans to make life’s biggest purchases – house, education, car and so much more. But not everyone has equal access to lending. Discrimination based on race, ethnicity, sex and/or religion is a huge concern. On the other hand, AI can also be perceived as a threat within the lending market. Will it compromise security? Will it be ethical? Will it be just as biased as humans can be? This conference offers a 360-degree view of the potential and challenges of democratizing credit with AI.

Digital Transformation Guide | for COVID-19 Business Challenge 2020: Hitechies

The corona-virus outbreak has affected businesses and millions of people globally. Governments around the world are announcing lock-downs and undertaking measures to break the chain of the virus and limit its spread. Consequently, a majority chunk of the global population has been forced to stay away from their workplaces and self-quarantine themselves in their homes. Business leaders, political heads, and economists have painted a grim outlook across industries and countries.

Interactions between customers and businesses have declined significantly with many scurrying to find digital alternatives. Communication and collaboration tools like Skype, GoToWebinar, and Zoom have replaced meetings and events. The Covid-19 pandemic has jolted organizations into re-calibrating their business models around technologies to operate in an unforeseen social distancing economy. Digital transformation holds the key to override this crisis by earning customer trust with mechanisms that ensure transparency, efficiency, and quality. To that effect, we have explored multiple technologies that have the potential to transform business operations in this brief Digital Transformation Guide.

COVID-19 | The Change Catalyst No One Saw Coming

The apocalyptic situation we find ourselves in can be viewed as a blessing in disguise. Digital transformation discussions that were once put on the back burner are back in focus to explore potential economic and efficiency gains. Glitzy industry events, client entertainment budgets, and attractive shop front displays are suddenly out of fashion. It warrants businesses to boost their customer outreach and shopper engagement efforts.

A Call for Digital Transformation Initiatives and a digital transformation strategy.

The sectors that COVID-19 has impacted the most on a global scale include technology, aviation, automotive, pharmaceuticals, banking, consumer electronics, travel and tourism, and many more. Businesses from these sectors have started realizing that they need to change their operations for good. The transformation they need to undertake is inside out starting from how their employees work leading on to how customers interact with their offerings.

The current situation demands businesses, brands, and enterprises to adopt digital transformation with these emerging technologies and solutions. The opportunities that these technologies create are like goldmines waiting to be discovered as the world battles its way out of this unprecedented event in modern human history.

We hope our super-simple Digital Transformation Guide could help you to focus on the things that can still work during this pandemic of COVID-19.
