Even though we are still nine months away the LendIt Fintech team is already hard at work producing our biggest event of the year. LendIt Fintech USA will be held in New York City on May 13-14 next year at the Javits Center. After two years in San Francisco we will be back in the finance capital of the world where we are expecting our biggest audience ever.

Registration for LendIt Fintech USA opened earlier this month and we have already had a flurry of activity with many people taking advantage of the special launch price of $1,695. That is a savings of $1,300 off the full price of a ticket. But to take advantage of this steep discount, you need to act soon. The launch pricing will end at midnight on Friday, so register now.

What will we be covering next year? Regular attendees will know that we have the broadest and deepest content in both lending and digital banking and we will continue that next year. Here is an initial look at the themes we will be building our agenda around:

New Themes
  • The Small Business Fintech Ecosystem
  • Revolution at the Point of Sale
  • New Approaches to Capital for Growth Businesses
  • Digital Banking Goes Mainstream
  • New Systems for Identity and Trust
  • Applying Fintech to Financial Wellness
Back by Popular Demand
  • Credit & Underwriting Innovation
  • The Latest in Consumer Lending
  • How Small Business Lending is Evolving
  • Digital Real Estate Offerings
  • The Evolution of Fintech Partnerships
  • How Regulation Can Keep Up With Fintech

We are just starting outreach to potential speakers so if you want to be part of our exclusive speaker roster please submit your idea here. We are pleased to have already secured our first three keynote speakers: the Chairman of the FDIC, Jelena McWilliams, Jo Ann Barefoot of Barefoot Innovations Group and Rishi Khosla of UK fintech unicorn OakNorth.

Lend Academy Readers Always Receive a 15% Discount

As always, as a Lend Academy reader you can save an additional 15% off the already discounted launch price. When you register just enter the code LENDACADEMYVIP at checkout.

Throughout the year we often hear about many of the successes of fintech companies whether it be new partnerships, funding rounds, product innovations or the successes of the great leaders behind each company. It’s not often we get to stop and recognize the companies and individuals who are driving change in financial services. This is why LendIt Fintech created the Industry Awards.

Now in its third year, we are excited to announce the carefully selected finalists from the over 500 submissions we received. From here industry veterans will decide on the winner of each of the 20 categories. Winners will be announced at our awards dinner on April 9th at the Julia Morgan Ballroom in San Francisco.

Wrap-Up of LendIt Fintech Europe 2018

Key themes and discussion topics that emerged from LendIt Fintech Europe 2018, our two day event held in London last week

November 28, 2018 By Peter Renton Leave a Comment

Views: 388

Last week the European fintech industry gathered in London for the fifth annual LendIt Fintech Europe event. While there were many key themes that emerged from our 2018 event, given the state of politics in the UK right now, one big theme hovered over them all: Brexit. As we got underway last Monday at the Business Design Centre it was not clear that the UK Prime Minister would make it through the day with her job intact.

Of course, the industry moves on regardless of the political events of the day so all the attendees got down to business just like they have done at previous events. Key themes that emerged over the two days were the continued inroads incumbent banks were making in fintech, the maturation of bank/fintech partnerships, the importance of open banking initiatives that are in development, and why strong and sensible regulation is critical for the development of fintech. Videos of all the keynote sessions are now posted online but below is a summary of some of the key points made in each session.

Rajesh Agrawal, Deputy Mayor of London, opens LendIt Fintech Europe 2018

Kicking things off this year was Rajesh Agrawal, the Deputy Mayor for Business at the City of London. He talked passionately about the opportunity that London provides for business and the fact that there is an entire ecosystem setup here to support fintech entrepreneurs. With London you have a city that combines the best of New York, Silicon Valley and Washington DC all in one place. He made the interesting point that the future is all about connecting global cities and that cities are more important than ever before. Great cities like London can help enable these connections. He closed with the simple message that London is open for business and regardless of what happens with Brexit it will remain open.

Website Changes at Lend Academy

The first step in merging the Lend Academy and LendIt brands has begun as Lend Academy is now LendIt Fintech News Powered by Lend Academy

July 11, 2018 By Peter Renton Leave a Comment

Views: 260

If you are reading this article on the Lend Academy site (as opposed to an RSS Reader or email) then you will see some changes. Before I get to the changes let me give you a little back story.

This site started out in 2010 as sociallending.net (Social Lending Network). This was a blog I purchased when I decided I wanted to write about p2p lending or social lending as it was often called back then. It soon became apparent that the social lending term was becoming less relevant so I rebranded to Lend Academy in 2012.

Then in 2013 I started LendIt with my fellow co-founders. Little did I know how that company would take off. It is now the largest lending-focused fintech conference series on the planet and it is where I spend the majority of my time. Because of this success LendIt has become more well known than Lend Academy. So we have decided, after much internal discussion, to slowly phase out the Lend Academy brand and bring everything under the LendIt umbrella.

What you see now is the first phase of this project. Eventually Lend Academy, LendIt News and the LendIt blog will all be under the same domain. Right now, the Lend Academy domain will remain but eventually almost everything will move to lendit.com. Although I will be keeping the Lend Academy name on the podcast as well as the @LendAcademy twitter handle. For the time being Lend Academy is now officially LendIt Fintech News Powered by Lend Academy.

LendIt Fintech News is a Fantastic Resource

Wrap-Up of LendIt Fintech USA 2018

Highlights from the many keynotes and more at LendIt Fintech USA 2018 held in San Francisco April 9-11

April 18, 2018 By Peter Renton 1 Comment

Peter Renton, Bo Brustkern and Jason Jones open LendIt Fintech USA 2018

Last week the sixth annual LendIt USA conference took place in San Francisco. Officially known as LendIt Fintech USA 2018 this event was, in my opinion, the best we have ever produced. As I do at this time after every LendIt event, here are my thoughts on some of the ideas that were shared by the keynote speakers as well as a summary of the rest of the event.

The opening keynote, for the second year in a row, was delivered by Scott Sanborn, the CEO of LendingClub. He gave a different kind of presentation this year. He didn’t talk much about LendingClub at all, instead choosing to focus his keynote on financial health and the looming crisis that maybe coming. He gave us all something to consider beyond just disruption, he said we should think about three key areas: financial inclusion, regulatory innovation and customer alignment. He ended with a call to action for the industry. He wanted everyone to focus on what problem you are solving and what you can do to help restore financial health to all Americans.

Scott Sanborn, the CEO of LendingClub, delivers the opening keynote at LendIt Fintech USA 2018

For the first time ever we had the CEO of Quicken Loans, Jay Farner, on stage at LendIt. Quicken Loans has become the largest mortgage lender in the country, bigger than all the banks. It was interesting to hear Jay talk about innovation. He said it is not enough today to just be faster. You need to fundamentally rethink the process, do it in a new and different way. This is where good entrepreneurial businesses will succeed because they start with a blank sheet of paper. He said there is no reason a mortgage should take longer than 10 days.

Long time readers of Lend Academy will know the name Chris Larsen. He was the co-founder and former CEO of Prosper. He left Prosper in 2012 to start Ripple, his most ambitious startup yet. Ripple is trying to revolutionize the way money is sent around the world. As he said in his discussion with Jo Ann Barefoot in finance, when it comes to moving money, we are living in a pre-internet world. It takes days to send money around the world and yet email moves instantly. It is inevitable that this will change and when it does Chris said there will be a Cambrian explosion in innovation and economic development.

Max Levchin first made a name for himself as a co-founder of PayPal but today he is most well known as the CEO and co-founder of Affirm. Affirm is attacking point of sale financing, a space that is somewhat fragmented with few big incumbent lenders. In his discussion Max said that software is eventually going to eat the credit card. We are going to move to payments made by phone but we have more work to do on the software side before that becomes the standard way people pay. Interestingly, he also attacked the APR (annual percentage rate) standard as a bad way of judging credit products. We need to reinvent a way to compare financial products that is not just focused on the APR.

LendIt USA Returns to San Francisco in 2018

The sixth annual LendIt USA conference will take place at the Moscone Center on April 9-11, early bird pricing ends on November 3

October 30, 2017 By Peter Renton Leave a Comment

Views: 155

When we launched LendIt USA back in 2013 we were the first conference ever focused on the online lending space.  Since then we have expanded our mission to cover all of lending and in 2017 we started expanding into other areas of fintech. This has reflected the maturation of online lending as it has become part of the mainstream financial system.

In 2018, we bring you the sixth edition of LendIt USA as we are heading back to the west coast on April 9-11, 2018 at the Moscone Center in downtown San Francisco. We will be covering financial services innovation at LendIt USA 2018 with a focus on three core areas: lending, digital banking and blockchain. The event has been open for registration for some time and early bird pricing ends this Friday.

Below are some highlights from our 2017 event.

Networking Takes Center Stage

We will have more networking opportunities at LendIt USA 2018 than ever before. We know that one of the best things about a large conference like LendIt is that everyone is there and you can forge many new connections that will help in your business.

There will be a 1-to-1 networking tool powered by Brella that will allow you to schedule short meetings with other attendees. Not only that but once you tell it the kinds of people you are interested in meeting it will actually make suggestions for you. If you are after a more curated experience then we recommend our VIP Meeting Concierge who will personally coordinate meetings ahead of the conference, available to qualified participants and sponsors only. Of course, there will also be plenty of opportunities to meet with your fellow attendees during networking breaks and the onsite cocktail party.

A Comprehensive Agenda

We are still in the early stages of putting the agenda together but we have a fantastic program planned over an expanded 2 1/2 days in 2018. We will have several big new names this year along with many popular speakers from the past and will start sharing these names shortly.

Our content tracks will be covering a breadth of topics: digital banking, consumer lending, real estate, small business lending, international fintech, financial inclusion, structured products, women in fintech, underwriting, regulation, blockchain and more.

New for 2018: The BlockFin Summit

Speaking of blockchain we are doing an entire conference within a conference focused on this topic at LendIt USA 2018. The BlockFin Summit will take place in a dedicated space within LendIt and will be focused on all things blockchain. Spearheaded by my partner, Jason Jones, the BlockFin Summit is a conference for the financial services sector with coverage of the blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and tokens.

Some topics we will be covering include: enterprise blockchain using digital ledger technology, global finance built on AI and blockchain, tokenized VC and investment banking, blockchain infrastructure for markets, trading, and back office, decentralized banking and insurance, crypto-economics and more.

The LendIt Awards Dinner is Back

I think my favorite part of the 2017 event was the LendIt Industry Awards Dinner. This sold out event was a celebration of the industry where we recognized the leaders who have had the most impact over the previous year. A panel of 30+ judges selected the winners from 18 different categories. Tickets are available now for the 2018 Awards dinner and nominations will be open shortly.

Early Bird Pricing Ends Friday, November 3

Early bird pricing of $1,595 is available until this Friday, that is a $1,400 saving off the regular price. On top of that as a Lend Academy reader you receive an additional discount. Use the code LENDACADEMYVIP when you register for a 15% discount (you enter the code on the final checkout screen). While the discount code is always good for 15% off, our special early bird pricing only lasts until November 3.

Leadership Changes at LendIt

LendIt continues to grow and evolve and along with it our leadership is evolving

October 5, 2017 By Peter Renton 4 Comments

Views: 48

When LendIt was founded back in 2013 we had no idea it would get to the size and scale that it is today. My fellow co-founders and I just wanted to host our small but growing community so we could all learn, network and do business together.

As the industry has grown and matured LendIt has grown along with it. Since those early days focused on peer to peer lending we have repositioned ourselves recently to focus on any innovation in financial services. Obviously, lending is still a significant part of our events but at our next conferences – in London next week and San Francisco in April – you will also see a focus on blockchain, digital banking and other major innovations happening in finance.

LendIt events today look and feel very different from our early events. Along with that LendIt as an organization has grown and matured. Last month we made some internal changes that I want to share with you here.

When we first started we were just four co-founders: Jason Jones, Bo Brustkern, Dara Albright and myself. There was no CEO; we just all worked together as a collaborative partnership. At some point we decided that someone should be CEO and I took on that role initially. I am not really one for titles and I was a somewhat reluctant CEO to be honest.

My partner Jason Jones, who has been the driving force in the growth of our business, took over the CEO role some time ago as the business became more complex. Under his leadership, we scaled our team and back office infrastructure, expanded into China, grew and diversified our global audience base, expanded our business from lending to all of fintech, and emerged as one of the largest financial services events in the world.

As of early September, Jason has transitioned out of the CEO role and is now Co-Chairman along with me. This allows him to focus his entrepreneurial drive on areas of our business where he can make the most impact. He is turning his attention to become more client focused as major global financial services and technology companies become more involved in our business. He is also passionate about blockchain and will be running our new “conference within a conference” at LendIt USA 2018 on that topic. And he will continue to serve as Chairman of PitchIt, our global startup competition. As always, you can expect big things to come from Jason, so stay tuned.

The World is Paying Attention

Bo Brustkern, Chairman & co-founder of LendIt China shares his experience from the LendIt China Tour and Land Di Fintech Conference

July 21, 2017 By Bo Brustkern Leave a Comment

Views: 1,696

On July 15-16, 2017 we hosted the annual Lang Di Fintech conference. Lang Di is the largest and most prestigious fintech event in China, and it is one of LendIt’s cornerstones, including our USA and European conferences. For two days in Shanghai, the world’s fintech leaders gather for a truly unique conference experience, networking and peer sharing.

Leading up to Lang Di, we led a weeklong tour of China – to Macau, Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai – with an elite group of executives from all over the world. On Tour and at Lang Di we gained keen insights, planted and cultivated the seeds of business development, and developed a strong bond among each other and many of our Chinese hosts.

What follows are some of the observations I made while there.

Billions

In China there are more than a billion consumers that are generally underserved across a broad spectrum of financial services, making for a diverse and exciting array of opportunities to address. Yet China is dominated by giants – institutions like Bank of China and technology firms like Alibaba –companies that have tens of thousands of employees and hundreds of millions of customers. The scale of the opportunity is enormous, and so is the size of the companies trying to address it.

This is not to say that small businesses cannot survive. In the much-anticipated comments of Mr Sun Guofeng of the People’s Bank of China (PBoC), the standing-room only audience heard a clear message that the government wishes to provide an umbrella of support to the emerging Chinese fintechs. Many of my Chinese colleagues were simply elated to hear the remarks of Mr Sun. It was a brilliant speech. Brilliant. Why? He pronounced a message and a mission: first, that China is a fintech leader, second that China must lead the world, and third that challenger fintechs were important players in the plan.

Consumer protection is important (do you hear the rattling of the sabre?) but at the same time, we want to keep the good among us (do you see the passing of the olive branch?). The PBoC wishes to harmonize and rationalize the regulations, and allow for the convergence of fintechs and banks. While the focus may be on the “national champions,” the PBoC won’t let them choke out the upstarts. In essence, the government of China is placing a protective order around innovation and entrepreneurship. If this sounds strange or surprising to you, it’s time to get beyond the headlines and visit China to see for yourself what’s really going on there: a massive onslaught of entrepreneurship the world has not witnessed since the post-war American boom.

An American in Shanghai

The six-term senator from Montana, former Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and former Ambassador to China, Max Baucus, gave a charged speech on his views of Sino-American collaboration in the new world of Ethereum, Alipay, IBM Watson and Amazon Web Services. “The living standards of our children and grandchildren depend on us getting along,” he said. With $60 billion in trade between the countries, more than 2 million travel visas and 300,000 student visas issued each year, our countries are irreversibly intertwined. It is essential that the citizens of our countries understand and respect each other, and enjoy the benefits of working together.

Ambassador Baucus praised China for its energy, enthusiasm and pragmatic spirit. China is leapfrogging US payment systems with Alipay and WeChat Pay, two mobile-only QR-based payment systems that have seen rapid, massive adoption and will soon render cities and villages all across China cashless and cardless.

American companies who do best in China spend a lot of time here, said Baucus. His one word of advice: “just go.” Get out the door, get to China, and meet your counterparts. It’s important for America, and it’s important for you. Sure, it may be intimidating to huck yourself over the border, but personal relationships are critical to the Chinese. They will respect you for trying, so long as you approach them with an empty cup.
