In 2015, the focus will be on those budding firms who seek to provide innovative solutions to regulatory impacts across the industry.
For those FinTech start-ups out there seeking to alleviate the regulatory burden on financial services firms, we have some news that may interest you.
Dassault Systèmes, a European multinational software company and experts in 3D design, in conjunction with Deutsche Börse, Europe’s biggest exchanges operator by value, will be Hosting the third annual 3D FinTech Challenge. (Neither company will take equity from the start-ups.)
The 3D FinTech Challenge 2015 will be held from 16th September to 4th November 2015, hosted at Level39, Europe’s largest accelerator hub for high performance start-ups in the financial services community, located in Canary Wharf.
It is a seven-week, immersive accelerator program designed to identify and nurture high-performance, technology start-ups with plans to change how financial services are done.
In 2015, the focus will be on those budding firms who seek to provide innovative solutions to regulatory impacts across the industry. Indeed, as financial regulators demand increased surveillance, reporting and analytical capabilities from firms, start-ups toying with new data management technology, big data or emerging technologies, such as Blockchain, will be well placed to get in on the action.
According to the website, six finalists will be chosen to participate in the Challenge. Benefits include:
On-going mentoring from senior executives and senior members of London's financial services community;
Master class given by domain experts, covering topics such as UX and interface design, intellectual property rights, marketing, licensing agreements, legal structure and pitching and presentation best practice;

A chance to participate in the final and showcase your winning solutions to an audience of venture capitalists, private equity firms, industry experts and senior executives within the Financial Services community;

Executive Interview | Charlotte Bullock | Chief Product Officer, Bank of London | FMLS:25
In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
