Financial technology, or FinTech, is dramatically changing how money and capital are transferred, raised, and invested. But what is FinTech? Spend an hour with URI Assistant Professor of Finance Zafer Yüksel, who will briefly define FinTech and its major components, explain how blockchain technologies, which power the thousands of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, are changing the way we pay for goods and services today, and how these technologies will impact the future of currency.
Donna Gamache-Griffiths, J.D., Ph.D., URI associate teaching professor and coordinator of the International Business Program (IBP), will serve as moderator for the discussion.
