ICTP 199: Fintech in the Caribbean, from a banking perspective

ICT Pulse Podcast

The traditional commercial banks are the bedrock of countries’ financial services sector, but they seem to be lagging behind and are out of step with the new and exciting developments in financial technology (fintech). With Wendy Delmar, the Chief Executive Officer of the Caribbean Association of Banks (CAB), and in this the latest instalment in our series on fintech in the Caribbean region, we discuss:

* how the CAB and its members view fintech;

* why securing an online merchant account is still a challenge, especially for digital businesses; and

* why commercial banks are blocking their customers from purchasing crypto.
