During 2020, Daily Fintech started a new format to curate the most important news in big waves of change in Fintech.
One of the big waves of change in Fintech is Alt Lending. So I am delighted to announce that, starting next week, Howard Tolman will be your Alt Lending News Curator
We believe in constraints because sipping from a firehose is a time suck for the busy senior leaders who rely on Daily Fintech to deliver just enough information to get on with their job. So once a week your News Curator will choose the 3 most important Alt Lending news stories. This requires judgement and that only comes with deep experience in the market, which is why we are so happy to announce that Howard Tolman will be your the Daily Fintech Alt Lending News Curator
We chose news about Alt Lending because we believe that this is a tsunami sized wave of change where there is a big demand for quality information. It is also a complex subject and so we worked hard to find the best expert, wherever they are in the world (location is never an obstacle for us because we have been running a decentralized remote working operation since we started in 2014) and we found that expert in Howard Tolman. Howard and I first started working together in 2014 and I have enjoyed talking to him about the transformation of financial services. Howard is that rare combination, both deeply knowledgeable and an outside the box thinker. He is a serial entrepreneur and senior executive who has “walked a mile in your shoes”.
Seeing the news that matters each week will help busy senior leaders to position well for the Alt Lending tsunami of change.
Last week I interviewed Howard to get his views about Alt Lending. So I was delighted when Howard agreed to be our Alt Lending News Curator.

That insight is made available to you for US$143 a year (which equates to $2.75 per week). $2.75 buys you a coffee (maybe), or the cost of a week’s subscription to the global Fintech blog – caffeine for the mind that could be worth $ millions.
