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.

Speaking:
Michelle Beyo, FINAVATOR INC

Important ruling in SEC v. Ripple Labs: XRP's security status clarified. Last week, the court determined XRP itself isn't a security, examining the totality of its sale and distribution.
Institutional sales were deemed securities violations, while sales to the general public via algorithms and exchanges were not.
This decision raises questions about the dividing line between securities and non-securities. Implications include potential appeals, implications for enforcement actions, and exemptions.

I have some contacts at Ripple through the US Faster Payments Council. With this news, they said that they're getting very busy expanding the number of banks that they work with their underlying blockchain payments technology platform.

We are happy to announce our newest Community Partner in the USA - Elena Aono .
Yelena is taking the lead as our Community Partner in the Miami / Fort Lauderdale area. Prior to her move to Miami, Yelena was our Community Partner and advisor in the United Kingdom, helping us build our brand and community from a handful of members to over 400.
More importantly, over the past few years the South Florida area has become a hotbed for financial services and crypto innovation. Having an ambassador that has the financial services and fintech experience along with community building skills will allow FinTech Connector to attract top-quality enablers and innovators to our platform.

From its early days, I've witnessed FinTech Connector's transformation into a pivotal hub for global fintech innovation. 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.”
