Join NYPAY and FinTech Connector for an insightful discussion on the evolving landscape of credit card rewards and loyalty programs. Industry experts will analyze the factors contributing to the possible decline of these programs and provide an in-depth look at current challenges.
Almost three quarters (71%) of Americans have a credit card that offers rewards, and of those nearly half choose their cards based upon the rewards of that card. These rewards can take various forms, such as cash back or travel points. With rewards having such a large impact on the payment card landscape, it is not surprising that the future of reward programs is one of the top topics of interest of NYPAY and FinTech Connector members.

I am excited to bring my expertise in fund management and system integration to further empower fintech professionals and entrepreneurs through our network. Together, we'll continue to enhance the financial services landscape for businesses and consumers alike."
Angel Lorente, Founder and CEO of FinTech Connector, commented, “Yelena is one of our biggest and most vocal ambassadors. She was part of the familia since 2018, and I've had the honor to call her a friend, advisor, and partner since the early days. More importantly, she is always willing to travel around the world to be part of the FinTech Connector events, bringing with her lots of energy, excitement, and experience. I am so happy to have her lead the effort in the Miami / South Florida area after many years building out our UK community.”
