META Finance was formed to help Financial Institutions build Digital Trust with consumers
OUR WORK
Launched officially in January 2018 we have run a series of invitation-only seminars and workshops, in collaboration with other thought leaders, to accelerate industry thinking around how personal data and technology can be used to create better customer outcomes and build a culture of Digital Trust in Financial Services.
Our community has also undertaken strategic advisory assignments, spoken at events and delivered research projects. In February 2020 we paused our work in recognition of the fact that the topics of digital trust, privacy and personalisation are becoming increasingly mainstream.
META Finance is a trading brand of META, established in 2017 by Ben Leonard to help people help themselves. META stands for ME-Think-Act, a design philosophy for the Digital 2.0 age which puts the consumer experience at the heart of all propositions
DIGITAL 2.0 & DIGITAL TRUST
We are supporting the creation of a morally and ethically responsible era of Digital 2.0 where an open and connected marketplace for goods and services can use individuals’ data is used to personalise experience.
The evolution from Digital 1.0, the digitisation of product and communication, has profound implications for how consumers will manage their lives. As our digital footprint grows so do the opportunity and risk associated with it.
Digital Trust is therefore essential for the Digital 2.0 world to function. To build Digital Trust we believe firms will need to redefine the way they approach Privacy, Security and Transparency.
META Finance was created to help business leaders meet these challenges.
