The complexity of #financialservices (including regulatory requirements, security and integration/replacement of current legacy systems) makes programs like the one at the University of Toronto an opportunity for those in #fintech & financial institutions to be better prepared for how technology will change consumer adoption & future interactions with financial services, by providing industry know-how as early as possible. Gaps that can be filled include regulatory complianc...e, how #AI is and can be applied to financial services, how #data/ #cybersecurity is addressed, or how the back office of large financial institutions operate in general. Training can translate into better solutions for industry and consumers. Professionals in financials services can also understand emerging fintech technologies and how they can be applied to their jobs. What do you think? Are programs like these beneficial or not? And why? http://bit.ly/2S14fMJ via Bank Innovation
