February 19, 2025 • Efi Pylarinou

Exploring the Future of FinTech and Wallet Wars with Simon Taylor, founder of Fintech Brain Food.

A brief review of the State of Fintech comprehensive 111-page report, co published by Simon Taylor. We delve into the top nine trends impacting the industry, including how FinTech intersects with AI, the rise of neobanks, and the evolving landscape of embedded finance and payments.

Simon explains why he believes 2024 marks the age of FinTech hyperscalers, highlighting the rapid growth and revenue potential for companies like Stripe and Revolut.

We focus on the theme of Wallets and explore the concept of 'wallet wars,' where the centralization of financial services into digital wallets creates a new battleground for tech and financial institutions.

The conversation further stretches into the potential impact of AI agents and self-custodial wallets in revolutionizing financial autonomy for consumers and corporates alike.
