Ep. 37: FinTech and Open Innovation for a Global Financial City with Makoto Shibata

We refer to Shibata-san as the "Godfather of FinTech in Japan", not in a Mario Puzo sense (you won't find the head of a horse next to you when waking up), but because of the influence Shibata-san had in shaping many careers and mentoring so many of the startups in the overall ecosystem. Also a sought-after speaker and panelists at conferences in Japan and abroad, we were delighted that the pandemic allowed us to find some time to take a 360 degree view on the hot FinTech topics in Japan.  So beyond some general commentary on the health of the overall FinTech ecosystem in Japan, we go into more detail specifically on the promotion of cashless payments, the situation in open banking, and get Shibata-san's perspective on the recently released security token regulation.  Produced in collaboration with Tokyo FinTech.
