In keeping with our recent theme of financial optimisation, we spoke to Mads Brix, Head of Communication and Branding at Crediwire. Crediwire is a Danish Fintech that works with companies, small medium and large to help optimise their finances.

This is How the Metaverse Will Change Finance Forever

The metaverse is the new "man about town" and it seems that not a day goes by without an outpur of speculation, criticism, awe and anticipation of what the metaverse will will mean for society, culture, commerce and finance. The Nordic Fintech Magazine team took an immersive dive (quite literally) into the infant verision of the metaverse, available today to early adopters and the curios minded. We did it all, created avatars, dressed them in digital clothes, bought virtual land, acquired a couple of NFTs and joined some of the most popular play to earn platforms. After what seems like a month long trip into another dimension, we are able to give you a personal and informed account on what the metaverse is (and what it is not), what is going on in it, and most importantly how it will impact financial services as entire new economies, continue to sprout in this new brave virtual world.

Web 3, Dapps and the Future of Everything

It seems that no matter how fast we catch onto the latest trends in Technology and Finance,  the intervals on which we have to bring ourselves back up to speed are getting shorter and shorter. This episode explores one of the latest buzz words, which unless you are very much into tech, you probably haven't heard of yet, but very soon, that's about to change. 

In this episode Futurist Chris Crespo discusses Decentralized Apps or Dapps, Web 3 and how this will form the blueprint for the future of everything including financial services. Find out more about how decentralization will replace the underlying mechanisms of practically every process that makes use of the internet and how financial institutions are already taking advantage of this to make financial services accessible to more people. Could we be witnessing the next stage in the battle of ideologies that will face off for control over future financial and monetary systems?

NFTs, the Building Blocks for an Entire New Breed of Financial Services

2021 will go down in history, among other things, as the year that saw the rise of the NFT.  The stampede of people heading to the web to buy, sell and create NFTs can only be compared to the Californian Gold Rush of 1848. And yet, for the vast majority of us, the term either produces blank stares, or some vague association to digital art.  In this episode Ira Bulai, Assistant Producer at Nordic Fintech Magazine, explores what NFTs are, what they are being used for, beyond digital art that is, and how they are already fuelling the creation of new and ever more disruptive financial services.

From the incessant disruption that has taken over financial services, the disruption of payments is perhaps the most immediate one to impact customers everywhere. In this episode, Futurist Chris Crespo explains how payments will change consumers purchasing behaviours, from freeing us from our wallets to being able to provide a whole new range of payment related services right at the point of sale.
