Join your favorite fintech whisperers, Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu, as they tackle this behemoth of a question head-on. And who better to guide us through this maze than our good friend and Ville’s former colleague, Ewan MacLeod? Ewan brings to the table a treasure trove of insights, drawing from his rich experience on both sides of the fintech-banking divide.
