We often bring you perspectives directly from the field as we speak to the visionaries and entrepreneurs that are reimagining financial services, but today, we have a slightly different angle, and we are super excited to bring you a fantastic interview with Aleksi Grym, Head of Fintech and Principal Adviser at The Bank of Finland. As a Central Banker Aleksi has a very interesting view on how fintech is Developing in Finland and the driving factors that are contributing to the explosion of innovation we are seeing all over the Nordics.
