Started reading an interesting article about Irish credit unions desiring the opportunity to provide more mortgages. The article highlighted that the average interest rate on credit union mortgages last year was 3.7%. This compares favourably against an average of 3.9% for first-time borrowers from banks. Then clicked over to First Tech Credit Union which we noticed offers a new starter loan for those joining an ICT company (Information, Communication and Technology) who 'need to get yourself set up with accommodation, a car or anything else'. The credit union allows the borrower to borrow up to €15,000 from as little as 4.8% APR. That is less than many banks charge in terms of interest on mortgages. We don't have any relationship with First Tech Credit Union. But we like its focus on supporting employees of #fintech companies and #ICT firms. https://lnkd.in/e_ZgZyiG

Hi All - If you are an Irish fintech or regtech and you have Asia on your roadmap or are already focused on the region, note that Fintech Ireland is meeting with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) at the invitation of Department of Finance Ireland in the first week of September while the ADB's team is in Ireland. The ask from Fintech Ireland: If your fintech or regtech (includes sustainable finance and digital finance) has entry / business development in Asia on your roadmap or is currently focused on the region, please get in touch because your information/input should be useful when we are setting the Irish fintech scene (and how it scales) at the meeting. We could give your fintech/regtech a specific shout out to the senior executives of ADB too as we move through our presentation. That should help your fintech/regtech and it will also help as a step in strengthening the relationship between Ireland and ADB member countries through shared values and economic interests. We understand that the ADB is impressed with and very interested in the IRELAND FOR FINANCE Strategy. The Philippines (Manila) based ADB one of the Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) of which Ireland is a member, is planning a high-level visit Dublin over the 2-4 September period to facilitate the identification and development of opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region for Irish financial services companies, including those involved in #FinTech, #RegTech and #SustainableFinance. They are also interested in linkages between business and the Third Level sector covering the overall area of research but also skills and talent development. The ADB is Asia and the Pacific’s climate bank, a regional development bank established in 1966 to promote social and economic development. ADB provides loans, technical assistance, grants, and equity investments through private and sovereign sectors operations. ADB aims to support its developing member countries (DMCs) in reducing poverty; supporting climate resilience, mitigation and adaption, and building back nature; and fostering private sector solutions. Potential areas of collaboration/sustainable partnership under the "Ireland Asia-Pacific-Strategy" are: 1. Knowledge Sharing. 2. Consultant Opportunities for Ireland’s Companies: Given Ireland’s deep experience in areas such as environmental and nature-based finance and #digitalfinance / fintech, regtech, #AI, and #cybersecurity, there are opportunities for companies to bid on ADB RFP’s for financial sector projects to build their capacity or develop new products. 3. Direct Funding/Co-financing Opportunities with Irish Banks and Companies. 4. Government of Ireland Funding for ADB’s Financial Sector Development Partnership Special Fund (FSDPSF). Interested in hearing from fintech and regtech firms in the above fields. Contact us here in the comments, or email hello@fintechireland.com by close of business 28 August please.

The first time the EU competition commission has fined a business for the deletion of messages on an app such as WhatsApp. Something for all industries and executives to be aware of, including fintech and others when it comes to regulatory inspections (especially anti-competition investigations).
APPROVED BOARD DIRECTOR FINTECH, CHAIRPERSON & INED (PCF3, 2B, 6), AUDIT, RISK & COMPLIANCE COMMITTEES| MIFID | PAYMENTS | DIGITAL ASSETS| EX-CENTRAL BANKER/REGULATOR | LAWYER | MEDIA CONTRIBUTOR | SPEAKER | LECTURER
What is the cost of an employee deleting WhatsApp messages after learning of a regulatory inspection? In the case of a EU competition inspection, it is €15mn. Perhaps a case study for all companies and arguably should be covered during induction and annual training?? The European Commission fined International Flavors & Fragrances Inc and International Flavors & Fragrances France SAS (IFF) in June 2024 after it discovered that a senior employee at the company intentionally deleted WhatsApp messages during an antitrust investigation. These messages were part of a conversation with a competitor and contained business-related information, the commission found. They were also deleted after the employee learnt of the inspection at the company’s offices, which took place in March 2023. This was the first time the commission had fined a business for the deletion of messages on an app such as WhatsApp. Now think about this is terms of a financial services inspection/investigation. https://lnkd.in/eGcSKZGE

Many thanks to Charlie Taylor, Technology and Innovation Editor at the Business Post for discussing this morning's Crowdstrike meets Microsoft IT outage. And despite what you might see in the headlines that everything has been fixed at Microsoft (which could the case), there are still outages happening in the chain. We can image that at every operational resilience and/or DORA presentation we go to, there will now be only one (death by) powerpoint slide used when explaining the context of operational resilience. It will be a screenshot from a newspaper screaming "Global IT outage at Microsoft causes worldwide havoc - leads to intolerable hard for consumers of banks and fintechs. Retailers, tech, airlines and broadcasters also among those impacted". We are reading that CrowdStrike has just ruled out a cyberattack as the reason occasioned by it for the outage at MSFT. As it's CEO says: "For context, CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity service designed to stop internet breaches or hacks for the world's biggest companies." If the manner through which it seeks to prevent IT outages causes IT outages, what hope do we have? See Charlie's piece below. 👍
