Engineering and data science typically follow very different workflows. Engineering works in structured sprints and releases. Data science follows more of an exploratory path. These two sides must come together in the deployment and maintenance of application models. Instnt uses a hybrid approach that facilitates close collaboration between the two teams that still allows each to adhere to their natural rhythm.

The ongoing data revolution has a new front: financial services. Even with so much data created, financial services data is often siloed and lacks accessibility. The emergence of open banking is enabling a new relationship with financial data and new possibilities for innovation. This keynote will explore an open financial ecosystem, shifting control to consumers, what the impact is for technologists and developers, and how open banking is being leveraged to improve financial literacy and inclusion.

How LoanPro gives control back to the lender, with full visibility, access to live data, and a single source of truth. The Importance of a modern & secure technology stack that is cloud based, uses a configuration first approach, and maintains security through it all. More importantly, how we have done all of this in a way that increases efficiency, automation, & simplifies the complex arena of lending so that lenders can take back control.

Rapid fintech product adoption is requiring product teams to ramp up like never before. In the race to release new products, product teams are often introducing large amounts of technical debt and not operating in the most efficient manner. This talk will discuss the problem in greater detail and provide a solution, CodePath, to identify and resolve challenges around productivity.

I will show how ecolytiq’s Sustainability-as-a-ServiceⓇ works with financial institutions, individuals, and public organizations to boost sustainability using information in everyday context. Most important for sustainable living is availability of relevant information at the right time. We integrate facts for your own purpose, your next decision. By merging context information, we enable focusing on impact instead of datasets. We show how an open knowledge graph and streaming technology keep our data up to date.

In this workshop we step through the process of integrating with Instnt’s identity verification API and running some of your own data through our system. We will take a deep dive into the biometrics, device fingerprint, and social data collected on our cohort and see if there are any fraudsters among you. The tools and approach used will demonstrate the process we use for rapid feature validation and deployment in response to the ever-changing landscape of identity verification and fraud detection.

What You’ll Learn:

• Integrate an onboarding service by cut-and-pasting code on your website.
• A deep dive into biometrics, device fingerprint, and social data collected by online agents.
• Rapid analysis of data to identify useful features for fraud models.

In the race to release new products, fintech product teams are introducing large amounts of technical debt and not operating in the most efficient manner. The CodePath assessment enables technology leaders to identify and resolve challenges around productivity.

For executives at fintech product companies and financial institutions who are leading product development teams, join other financial product leaders in this interactive session to discuss best practices and challenges with getting the highest development productivity.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to identify bottlenecks in the development process that are costing valuable time in development resources and product timelines.
• Learn solutions to the most common process bottlenecks.
• Learn how to continue benchmarking your team's practices on a go forward basis.

Public data is everywhere, but how can we make use of it? Besides ethical and legal questions we must consider technological constraints. We will talk about different data assets, how these can be used and how we can integrate that data into our decision-making via data products. The workshop will be an interactive session. Attendees have a voice, and we want to work with you on our shared understanding of public data usage in FinTech.

What You'll Learn: 

• What are data integration patterns suitable for a shared data economy?
• How can open data help our society on our journey to a sustainable life?
• What do other attendees think about data sharing?
