Almost six months have passed since COVID-19 was recognized as a global pandemic. No sector of the economy has been unscathed. Fintech has been an interesting sector to analyze for both the positive and negative economic impact of the pandemic. The urgency toward contactless payments and further push to electronic payments as a replacement for cash and checks has perhaps created a tipping point. Leading experts from the Colorado Fintech community - LendIt Fintech, Worldpay and Xero - will help us examine the impact of COVID-19 on VC deal flow, payment processing, fintech conferences, fraud and compliance, omni commerce, online lending, and bill payments.
