FinTech Advisory Council

The MI Finance FinTech Advisory Council is composed of representatives from executive-level leaders from the private sector, former regulators, and academia. Members provide the program with guidance on FinTech developments, inform programming, and engage in high-level discussions with key stakeholders in both public and private settings. The council contributes to the program's thought leadership about how technology is being leveraged to address persistent challenges related to financial inclusion, access to capital, transparency, and compliance.
