The innovation we’ve seen in the financial industry has also impacted the international money movement space, an area ripe for disruption– start-ups have stepped in to help customers looking for a quick, low-cost solutions, providing transparency to the status of their money. How are these startups addressing the needs of consumers sending money abroad? Will they eventually displace the established money transfers operators? How are virtual currencies influencing the industry? How does the blockchain fit into the mix? What will the industry look like 20 years from now? These are just some of the many challenges and opportunities that we will delve into at this panel discussion. We’ll welcome your questions as well.
