9:20-9:40 • Latin American Fintech Goes Global
Sumita Pandit, dLocal
The LatAm fintech market has largely been seen as one of the hottest in the world, but it is also still considered emerging. That sentiment is starting to end, LatAm has broken through and some of the best companies are now on par with counterparts in the U.S., UK and Europe. One of those companies is dLocal, the payments giant has expanded access in LatAm, APAC, Middle East and North Africa. This session will talk about the growth of LatAm on the global stage, success in U.S. public markets, financial inclusion and much more.

9:45-10:05 • Building a Modern Financial Ecosystem
Sergio Furio, CEO, Creditas
Fintechs know what the customer wants and how to efficiently build that modern day experience. Fintechs also know they cannot build all features or products in-house, so they turn to partners. Creditas has built a new financial experience through an ecosystem of partners like Nubank. This session will discuss what the process looks like for partner selection, how to determine what is built in-house and what types of partnerships make most sense for their customer base.

10:10-10:30 • Unlocking Data and Efficiency to Transform Real Estate
Brynne Rojas, Co-Founder & CEO, Habi
Real estate transactions in Colombia and Mexico tend to occur offline and take months to close. This is a data and technology problem as well as a trust problem. New infrastructure has to be built to bring this data online and to unlock efficiency gains. But once this happens huge amounts of wealth can be created as liquidity becomes easier in the largest of all asset classes. In this session you will learn from a company at the forefront of this movement.

11:00-11:20 • Leveraging Real Time Data to Reduce Credit Risk
Amyn Dhala, VP & Head of Product, Brighterion/Mastercard
The COVID-19 pandemic pushed approximately 40 million Latin Americans to enroll in banks, enabling them to use digital finance channels, e-commerce, and credit for the first time. The sudden increase in volume and added demand outpaces legacy systems and human capacity leading to unprecedented credit risk and fraud exposure for financial institutions (FIs). Using artificial intelligence (AI), data can be automatically updated in real time, giving lenders the earliest possible opportunity to intervene. This session will discuss AI adoption among FIs and how to use current data effectively, challenges to adopt AI and how to overcome them, and how AI can help FIs identify and focus on their customers and to deliver a better customer experience.
