Something about starting alongside real fintech challengers at Tyro FinTech Hub which is Tyro's way of paying it forward ....
"Will blockchain disintermediate banks?"
First question to the panel, including blockchain engineer-in-residence James Zaki who presented on Smart Contract Audits to security and IT audit professionals. The jury is still out, but some great questions being asked as we move away from the hype to really exploring what blockchain technology can (and can't) enable.
Thanks to PwC Australia for hosting and director of ISACA Sydney Chapter Michelle Moffatt (photo credit) for organising.

Open Banking. Like the internet itself, the benefits aren’t immediately obvious – if someone told you about a bookseller with no shops, it would be hard to picture Amazon.
An event for those building the future of how money is made, moves, and grows.
Open Banking reform is a once-in-a-generation game changer to the future of banking.
In a rare opportunity, we're hosting a conversation with titans and startups, so you can learn what's already in play and what might lie ahead for Open Banking:
- Macquarie Bank: Open Platform, an Australian first... - Pocketbook: from spreadsheet to over 300,00 users - Tyro: Australia's first tech startup to receive a banking licence - Bron.tech: connecting pools to create a decentralised data exchange
It's this year's hot button topic and is expected to accelerate change in financial services when it arrives. But it already has - came into force on 13 Jan in Britain, and now mandated by Government to become a reality in Australia starting July 2019.
This forum is dedicated to Startups in Fintech, Blockchain, and beyond - if you move money, it's a conversation not to be missed.
