WORK FOR THEM ”

FINTECH MAGAZINE IS PUBLISHED BY

DIVERSITY IS BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT

If , like me , you ’ re only beginning to recover from last month ’ s epic Money20 / 20 Europe , then we ’ ve got some excellent content to ease you back into the spirit of things
FinTech Magazine was out in full force in Amsterdam , interviewing some amazing speakers and showing off our special Money20 / 20 edition . Amsterdam is a vibrant and diverse city – and this month ’ s issue of the magazine is big on diversity . June was Pride Month , and , with many pride events in the Northern Hemisphere continuing until the end of August , we ’ ve decided to take a look at how banks can meet the needs of their diverse customers . What needs do LGBTQ people have , and how are banks adapting ?
We also look at the sustainability of crypto . Traditionally , crypto mining has been highly energyintensive – but will the advent of proof-of-stake , rather than proof-of-work , lead to a cleaner and greener crypto industry ? So take a weight off those weary feet and enjoy the articles in this month ’ s issue .
