Fintech is changing at an unprecedented pace. Legacy systems are giving way to embedded finance, AI-driven automation and smarter, faster financial workflows. At Fintech Meetup 2025, the industry’s top innovators, investors and executives will discuss the trends shaping the next decade of financial services. 

Fintech Meetup is one of the biggest gatherings of fintech leaders, investors, and innovators focused on shaping the future of financial services. Designed to foster meaningful connections, this event brings together startups, financial institutions and technology providers to discuss the biggest challenges and opportunities in fintech today.

From embedded finance and AI-driven automation to B2B payments and compliance, Fintech Meetup is where industry-defining conversations happen. The event attracts some of the biggest names in fintech and beyond, including investors, industry pioneers and even some of the sharks from Shark Tank, like Kevin O’Leary.

Worth is no stranger to the Shark Tank mindset. In October 2024, we hosted Daymond John at our exclusive luncheon to discuss the critical role of SMBs in the financial ecosystem. Much like that conversation, Fintech Meetup provides a space for high-impact discussions on innovation, scaling and what’s next for the industry.

With fintech evolving at lightning speed, events like Fintech Meetup are essential for learning, networking and gaining the insights needed to stay ahead. We’re excited to be there, sharing how automation is transforming onboarding, underwriting and risk decisioning.

As a company built to eliminate friction in onboarding, underwriting and risk management, Worth is at the center of this industry transformation. We’re bringing automation to the financial ecosystem, helping institutions reduce onboarding times, streamline compliance and scale smarter.

Among the many valuable discussions at Fintech Meetup, three sessions stand out as must-attend conversations for fintech leaders. These panels address the future of embedded finance, scaling in fintech and the evolution of B2B payments—three areas where Worth is already delivering meaningful impact.

1. Panel: Successful Applications of AI in Lending

Why This Matters

Artificial intelligence has moved beyond hype and it is now a core part of how financial institutions assess risk, detect fraud and optimize customer approvals. The question isn’t should lenders use AI; it’s how quickly can they implement it without introducing risk?

Lenders today are expected to process applications at record speed while maintaining rigorous compliance and security standards. Traditional underwriting models simply can’t keep up with today’s demand for instant approvals and personalized credit decisions.

AI is filling that gap by:

• Improving credit risk assessment through real-time data analysis
• Enhancing fraud detection by identifying anomalies traditional models might miss
• Powering more personalized loan offerings based on predictive insights

Yet, AI isn’t a silver bullet. This panel, that includes Mariette De Meillon, Chief AI Architect of our strategic partner Equifax, will explore how financial institutions need to navigate regulatory scrutiny, data privacy concerns and ethical AI usage while integrating these technologies into legacy systems.

Worth is already solving these challenges through AI-powered automation in underwriting and risk decisioning:

• Worth Predictive Monitoring delivers real-time insights into risk, allowing lenders to make proactive decisions instead of reacting to outdated credit models.
• Worth Score™ consolidates multiple data sources into a unified, AI-driven business credit score, ensuring faster, more accurate lending decisions.
• AI-powered fraud detection helps financial institutions flag high-risk applications instantly, reducing manual reviews without compromising security.

Lenders that continue relying on slow, manual underwriting processes will lose business to competitors leveraging AI and automation. The future of lending is about enhancing the process with better, faster insights.

2. Panel: Creating Value & Driving Loyalty in Small Business Banking & Finance

Why This Matters

Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, but they’re often underserved by traditional financial institutions. The lending and banking experience for SMBs has historically been cumbersome, slow and filled with friction. That’s changing.

This panel will explore how fintechs and banks can move beyond transactional relationships to become true strategic partners for SMBs. With embedded finance, AI-driven personalization and real-time decisioning, financial institutions can:

• Streamline onboarding and approval processes to reduce drop-offs
• Offer customized financial solutions tailored to SMB needs
• Leverage API integrations for a seamless digital experience
• Build long-term loyalty through ongoing value, not just better rates

Worth’s proprietary technology enables financial institutions to integrate seamless, secure and scalable embedded finance solutions by automating the onboarding and underwriting process.

• Worth Pre-Fill technology eliminates manual data entry, reducing onboarding time and drop-offs.
• Worth Custom Onboarding workflows ensure a seamless experience tailored to each business model.
• Worth Case Management centralizes all case data into one platform for easy tracking across risk, compliance and underwriting teams.
• Worth Predictive Monitoring detects potential fraud and compliance risks in real-time.
• Worth Score™ provides a unified credit risk score to accelerate decision-making.

Embedded finance is only as powerful as the infrastructure supporting it. With automation-first workflows, Worth enables embedded finance platforms to scale without operational bottlenecks.

3. Taking Advantage of Opportunities in Digital B2B Payments

Why This Matters

The digitization of B2B payments is one of the most significant shifts in financial services today. Traditionally, B2B transactions have been slow, manual and fragmented, relying on outdated invoicing systems, paper checks and complex approval processes.

However, new advancements in automation, AI and blockchain technology are transforming B2B payments, making them faster, more secure and more efficient. Businesses that fail to modernize their payments infrastructure risk the chance to do business with SMB customers who expect a consumerized, digital-first experience. 

For B2B payments to be truly digital-first, businesses need automated risk management, faster merchant onboarding and seamless transaction approval workflows.

Worth is solving these challenges with:

• AI-Powered Onboarding that enables faster merchant approvals without manual paperwork.
• Automated Risk and Fraud Detection to prevent high-risk transactions before they happen.
• Integrated KYC/KYB and Credit Decisioning to allow businesses to approve and verify new partners in real time.
• Seamless API Integrations that embed Worth’s solutions directly into financial workflows.

B2B payments are evolving, but modernization requires automation. The companies that digitize their risk and approval processes will be the ones leading the next wave of B2B payment innovation.

Meet Worth at Fintech Meetup

These three sessions represent just a fraction of the conversations happening at Fintech Meetup 2025, but the common theme is clear: automation, risk intelligence and seamless onboarding are the foundation of financial services innovation.

At Worth, we’re making onboarding and underwriting faster, smarter and more scalable, helping financial institutions, fintechs and payment providers eliminate their industry pain points and drive growth.
