Join us for WiTWA's Boardroom Series hosted at Bankwest on The Future of Money...
Tap ’n’ Go, PayID, blockchains, peer-to-peer lending, online shopping: these are just some of changes we’ve seen in recent times affecting how we use money.
- But what does the future hold?
- Will cash become a relic?
- Will we see the demise of banks as ‘trusted third parties’?
- Will the cost of finance drop from its historical average of 2%?
- Will the growing divide between our physical wallets and our spending further disconnect us from our money?
- What further changes - technological and otherwise - can the financial industry expect to see in the future?
- What will these changes mean for consumers?
Join Women in Technology WA and Financial Toolbox for an enlightening panel on the these topics and more as we explore the future of money.
Tickets are only $10 plus booking fee and include food and drinks. Get them HERE.
