In the latest episode of the What the FinTech? podcast, we’re joined by Pinar Alpay, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at identity solutions provider Signicat, to learn more about digital identity and its relationship with financial services, as well as the work that companies such as Signicat are doing in the space. Pinar and FinTech Futures editor Paul Hindle discuss the evolution of digital identity over the last few years, how banks and other financial services firms are looking to adopt the technology, the digital identity landscape across Europe in light of the EU’s digital identity wallet pilots, the importance of instilling trust among users, and of course the challenges around fraud given the increasing use of AI and deepfakes and what companies can do to combat this.
