It's not the same world anyomre [HU]

More:

In Hungary, credit card fraud has increased one and a half times since 2021. The value of fraudulent transfers has almost tripled.

It is not only the public sector, the financial institutions and the media that are under constant attack, but also the users of electronic banking services.

Hungarians are much less informed about cyber security than the EU average: only 5 out of 100 Hungarians feel prepared for this challenge. One third of Hungarians do not report if their data has been misused and 34% do not report if money has been stolen.

  • How do hackers work?
  • What is the expected level of damage?
  • Where and how will they attack us?
  • What can we do about it?

That's what this presentation will answer.

A single connection to the whole world: new opportunities for cross-border payments [HU]
More:

  • Mastercard's cross-border services respond to these new needs and enable people and businesses to send and receive money securely, quickly and transparently from anywhere in the world through a single, secure access point.

Open Banking is breaking the way! [EN]

More details:

A couple of years ago, API availability and data quality issues were the talk of the town when it came to Open Banking. Today, however, technology has caught up and Open Banking solutions are breaking into new areas:

  • On 2 October, Cofidis and Aggreg8 launched a joint solution that allows you to get an online loan in as little as 20 minutes, completely automatically and independently of the bank.
  • In the near future, an online bank account cost comparison solution will be launched by Aggreg8 and a banking partner, allowing you to estimate exactly how much you could save by switching accounts based on your actual account history, and then open a new account using a mobile self-service account opening tool.
  • Open Banking data can also revolutionise the commercial and marketing sectors, both in terms of customer management and data management. Introducing FintechX's new embedded finance solution, Spendwyze!
