Wes Miller, CEO, Finigree - How Money Should Move

In this episode of the #PAY Podcast Bruce Burke speaks with Wes Miller, CEO, Finigree, a fresh face in fintech landscape. Finigree is a rebranding and enhancement of the ATS Secured Platform. Wes and company are debuting their new brand at #PAY Symposium & Exposition. Meet Wes and learn how banks are using this multifunction platform to keep their users and themselves secure with a user friendly interface and controls. About the ATS Secured Platform When technology puts people first, incredible things happen! The ATS Secured smart network is a first-of-its-kind social experience that puts the user back in the spotlight. Our product artisans and master engineers have worked tirelessly to redefine what a social network should be: A platform that puts control of data back in the hands of its owners, that provides sophisticated functionality for elevating business and interpersonal relationships, and that does so in an environment founded in trust and integrity. Wes Miller co-founded ATS Secured, LLC, a financial services software company headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. ATS Secured believes data should be owned and controlled by the data owners. The company’s Smart Network functionality brings this concept to life, allowing trusted parties to own and control their information inside a secure environment, and safely exchange data, documents and dollars. It can be used like other social networks to connect with individuals and businesses. This functionality is made possible through ATS Secured’s Plexigram – similar to block chain, but with persistent verified identities and without miners. With the Smart Network, businesses save time and money on the decision-making, account opening and onboarding processes, while adding another layer of security via data and identity validation for all parties in the ecosystem. An App for Every Occasion Our smart network applications give you the tools you need to take on your day: from the powerful document storage and collaboration management functionality of our Documents application to our hyper-easy-to-use App Builder, which allows you to define shareable, all-digital applications in minutes. No matter what challenge you face, ATS Secured has an app to solve it. A commitment to you — here and everywhere that follows ATS Secured is committed to you and the liberties you deserve. And this commitment is more than just a pledge; it's weaved throughout our entire technical infrastructure. Combined with our smart network, ATS Secured's distributed ledger technology makes it possible for you to control how your data gets shared, to have transparency into each use of your data, as well as to determine through which provider you choose to access our network.

Areiel Wolanow, Managing Director, Finserv Experts | Unlocking Investment in Blockchain Projects

In this episode of the #PAY Podcast Bruce Burke speaks with Areiel Wolanow, Managing Director of Finserv Experts. An independent consulting firm offering both advisory and solution delivery expertise in Blockchain, Machine Learning, Financial Inclusion & Agile DevOps Adoption. Finserv Experts consultants regularly speak at conferences and workshops around the world, from local community meetups to major global summits like the G20. Recent appearances include the Insurance Institute of London, The Future of Blockchain Summit in Dubai, UK Parliament - Parliamentary Blockchain Showcase and Blockchain Technology World in London. Areiel Wolanow is a globally recognized thought leader in blockchain, machine learning, and financial inclusion. He is currently the Managing Director of Finserv Experts, his clients have included HSBC, Bank of America, Lloyd’s of London and Deutsche Telekom. Areiel is an active advisor to the UK government on blockchain regulation and adoption. Areiel is conducting a masterclass on Monday, August 19, 2019 as one of the pre-conference events of the #PAY Symposium & Exposition at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. Register today for Unlocking Investment in Blockchain Projects and learn how to get your startup or project the resources it needs to become successful. In this masterclass Areiel Wolanow will share the approach Finserv Experts uses to help its clients successfully get projects funded. Areiel will start by walking through a real-world business case that has unlocked investment in a DLT prototype for one of the world’s most well recognized financial markets. Finserv Experts has developed a methodology on how to articulate the business benefits of blockchain and DLT solutions in a way that investors and board members will understand. The biggest challenge in raising money for new blockchain solutions – both for startups and established enterprises – is articulating the benefits that the new solution will deliver. Quantifying these benefits can be quite difficult; in many cases the business models are so new that there aren’t reliable reference cases on which to base benefit realization estimates. The group will break into smaller teams and receive real-world experience developing a DLT business case. Attendees will take away the business case template developed for use on their own projects. Some of the projects that Areiel and the Finserv Experts have developed include Lloyds of London, HSBC, Merrill Lynch and the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the Commerical Bank of Africa and many more. At Lloyd’s of London, Areiel served as the delivery leader and overall solution architect for the successfully delivered DLT-enabled trade settlement and claims agreement prototype programme. Much of Lloyd’s post-settlement processing remains as paper based as it was when Lloyd’s became the world’s leading insurance market in the early 1700’s. This prototype enabled the London Market Target Operating Model programme envision a solution in which the transaction accounting, claims agreement, net settlement, and reporting functions are digitized and automated via a transparent, immutable, blockchain-based ledger. Areiel worked with Bank of America, HSBC, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore to lead the development of a working blockchain prototype for letter of credit origination. This was IBM’s very first commercial consulting engagement for blockchain, and successfully delivered on time. Areiel worked with Commercial Bank of Africa to lead the development of a machine learning based credit scoring solution for loans issued over mPesa, Kenya’s world leading mobile payments solution.

Provides practical guidance for blockchain transactions in business operations Provides practical guidance for blockchain transactions in business operations Demonstrates how blockchain can add value and bring increased efficiency to commercial operations Covers all of the essential components of blockchain such as traceability, provenance, certification and authentication Requires no technical expertise to embrace blockchain strategies Commercializing Blockchain: Strategic Applications in the Real World is ideal for enterprises seeking to develop and deploy blockchain technology, particularly in areas retail, supply chain and consumer goods. The accessible, non-technical guide to applying and benefiting from blockchain technology. Blockchain has grown at an enormous rate in a very short period of time. In a business context, blockchain can level the playing field between small and large organisations in several ways: Exact copies of the immutable, time-stamped data is held by all parties, all transactions can be viewed in real time, data blocks are cryptographically linked, all raw materials are traceable and smart contracts ensure no middle-men, ease of audit and reduced friction. The trust, transparency, security, quality and reduced costs of blockchain make it a game-changing technology that crosses sectors, industries and borders with ease. Even though the technologies are ready for adoption, businesses remain largely unaware of their full potential and effective implementation. End users require accurate and up-to-date information on the practical applications of blockchain — Commercializing Blockchain provides it.
