FinTech Coming to a Doctor Near You
Thursday, September 12th; 10:00 - 11:00 AM
Boston Public Library | Rabb Lecture Hall
700 Boylston St, Boston
Why isn’t paying your doctor as easy as paying at a restaurant (or with Uber!)? This session brings together the managing partner of a leading venture capital firm with leaders from two local startups that are solving the problems of booking appointments, understanding what’s owed, and paying at checkout (or later). They will discuss the next big verticalization of payments and what the medical experience will look like for patients in the future.

Thursday, September 12; 12:00 - 1:00 PM
Babson Boston Campus | 9th Floor
100 High Street, Boston
Solving industry and consumer payment challenges can no longer be addressed with a one-size fits all approach. With consumers and payers having more choice and control than ever before, the payments industry is undergoing a massive shift. This session will dive into the current state of global payments and the opportunities on the horizon to create impactful and inclusive outcomes with personalized payment solutions.
