How FinTech Can Bridge Gaps and Foster Inclusion In the latest episode of HKU FinTech Regulatory Ramblings, we are thrilled to feature Theodora Lau, a global leader in FinTech and innovation, who discusses the complexities of FinTech adoption globally. She highlights the US's lag behind Asia in digital payment systems, with WeChat and Tencent driving innovation in China. Japan's conglomerates are now embracing digital payments despite their cash-heavy history. Theo also discusses the disparity between countries like Hong Kong and the US, where millions of households remain unbanked or underbanked, and emphasizes the challenge of creating tech that genuinely benefits the elderly, underserved, and financially excluded. She believes that the issue lies in the adoption by regulators, enterprises, and consumers. She also discusses the potential of AI and generative tech in driving financial inclusion and the roadblocks posed by outdated perceptions and cost-centric mindsets among financial institutions. Theo is an author of Beyond Good and The Metaverse Economy, hosts the One Vision podcast, and writes the FinTech Prose newsletter. 🎧 Don't miss this compelling discussion on the intersection of technology, regulation, and humanity. 🎧 https://bit.ly/3Pw1nGl | YouTube: https://bit.ly/4gKJxKR #FinTech #RegTech #FinancialInclusion #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #AI #UnconventionalVentures #RegulatoryRamblings #TheodoraLau
