On September 13, Bloomberg Government and the Bloomberg Black Professional Community held a breakfast and discussion moderated by Bloomberg Law’s Seth Stern and Lydia Beyoud with members of congress, policy experts and corporate executives on the future of finance and technology innovation and policy.
Over the years, technological innovation has transformed the way financial products and services are delivered to consumers. As banking continues to evolve into an online experience, and as non-depository financial technology (“FinTech”) companies continue to emerge. This conversation discussed how should consumer laws keep pace with innovation.

Congressman Gregory Meeks (D-NY), US House of Representatives
Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett (D-USVI), US House of Representatives
