Sir Richard Branson to Talk AI and FinTech at Money20/20

Money20/20 has announced a high-profile addition to its lineup of keynote speakers: Sir Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin Group.

Branson’s participation comes by way of a partnership with artificial intelligence specialist Feedzai, whose CEO, Nuno Sebastiao, will interview Branson onstage. Their talk is entitled, “Nuno & Sir Richard: New Tech, New Banks, New Frontiers”.

It’s a fitting and timely partnership. Branson has styled himself as a maverick in the various areas in which his business operates, disrupting traditional business in airlines, hotels, and payments; likewise, increasingly sophisticated AI technology is delivering huge transformations across a range of industries, not least of which financial services.
