I am currently working with the folks at Money 20/20 to get our Premium members access to TwentyFold, an exclusive fintech intelligence platform powered by Money20/20 that helps financial services and business service providers and fintech entrepreneurs find partnership and investment opportunities.
We will offer a 14-day, full-access to 100 Pro members for business and investor development.
We will give you 3 months of full access to the first 15 Premier members that sign up.
FYI - The entry level subscription for this service is $10,000 / year all the way up to $25,000 / year for large, enterprise organizations so this is a great opportunity to get access to an incredible resource at a fraction of the cost.
How can you get access?
Upgrade to Pro or Premier Yearly today and we will provide access to the platform by July 1st.
If you are already a Pro Yearly member then you are on the list...nothing further to do for now.
Check out some of the screens from the app.

Seven years ago I started FinTech Connector as a meet-up group at a bar Hurley's by Morgan Stanley's corporate office to bring together financial services executives to connect with fintech entrepreneurs to help each other.
The executives and experts wanted to get involved and learn about fintech.
The entrepreneurs needed help finding partners, investors, and expertise.
Today, I continue to passionately bring together executives, experts, and entrepreneurs through our global, online platform that hosts over 4,600 members from 125 countries that are connecting, collaborating, and creating financial services innovation.
I want to thank all of our members that continue on this journey to connect the fintech world.
More importantly, I want to thank our investors, Premier members, and Pro members that are helping me financially to keep FinTech Connector going.
Without your support we wouldn't be where we are today!

Fintech Islands in Barbados was one of the best conferences I have attended. It was more than a conference; it was an experience.
We should put together a FinTech Connector delegation from around the world to support the fintech ecosystem in the Caribbean diaspora next year.
I want to give a shout-out to some of the members and entrepreneurs that I met in Barbados - Keeghan Patrick Pascale Elie Warren Kellman Jarryon Paul
We need to grow our network in this region but more importantly help the entrepreneurs building innovation in the Caribbean. I ask our members to invite their network of entrepreneurs in this region to join us.
Now, here are my top 10 takeaways from Fintech Islands:
1) The Caribbean is a hotbed for innovation
2) Banks are looking for ways to stay competitive with digital offerings
3) Financial education for the unbanked and underbanked is important
4) Digital-first / neo-banking solutions are on the rise
5) Getting more underbanked people to use digital-first services
6) Regulators need to provide guardrails but be open to innovation
7) Large international tech companies understand the opportunity
8) Lots of innovative tech talent ready to spread outside of the region
9) Banking in the Caribbean is more of an evolution than a revolution
10) Fintech entrepreneurs need human and investor capital to build

Mark your calendars, my FinTech Connector family, because I'm heading to Fintech Islands in Barbados from Jan 24-26, and you won't want to miss it!
Is anyone from FinTech Connector going?
FYI - I'm moderating a panel on "The Path to Digital-First Banking: Tech Stacks and Regulatory Guardrails"
We'll be diving deep into:
-The tech stack for digital-first banking
-Regulatory guardrails for innovation
-Navigating the unique challenges of Caribbean fintech
-Unleashing the power of collaboration and innovation
I look forward to inviting the conference participants to join our 4,500+ member community platform of decision-makers, investors, and entrepreneurs from across the globe (including right here in the Caribbean! ).
Let's connect in Barbados!
P.S. And yes, there might be some post-panel rum punches involved. Just sayin'. Jan 11, 2024
