Castille Institute, a leader within the financial services education sector, is organising a full-day course entitled ‘Blockchain, Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies’ on March 16.
Financial technology has developed at blazing speed after the financial crisis of 2008. Globalisation and the internet have created a demand for instant transactions and settlement without delays. After initial hesitation, banks and other financial institutions are jumping on the band wagon to take advantage of the increased speed and low cost of Block Chain Technology. But what exactly does that mean? Is this a fad or a revolution?
Participants with little or no knowledge of Blockchain or Cryptocurrencies will be able to understand the basic terms, explain the challenges and use practical examples, tools and expertise to mitigate compliance risk. The training explains the difference between Bitcoin and Blockchain, why the technology is important for financial institutions and what the threats and opportunities are.
This seminar is being delivered by Robin Lee, chief eXperience officer at Inzsure, an insurtech platform that leverages Blockchain/Distributed Ledger Technology.
Mr Lee began his career in Silicon Valley in various startups within the compliance space. After six years, he proceeded to Wall Street where he worked in the hedge fund industry for four years covering technology companies as a trader, research analyst and portfolio manager.
Following three years in the compliance education industry, Mr Lee embraced his combined experience and launched The Governance Risk AML Compliance Ethics Foundation, an edtech/regtech firm which was subsequently acquired by RHT Law Taylor-Wessing, the second largest law firm in Singapore. Following the completion of the integration of G.R.A.C.E. within RHT, Mr Lee joined Datarama, a regtech firm that specialises in Digitally Enhanced Due Diligence while simultaneously brainstorming the concept and formation of Inzsure, where he is now based full time.
He has conducted numerous technology-related training sessions with global financial institutions (Standard Chartered, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, AmBank), MNC’s (Apple, NetApp, Google, Facebook), SME’s and government entities (MAS, OJK, Securities Commission Malaysia, Bank Negara and the US Department of Justice). He is also a regular speaker at conferences (IQPC, Financial Times, AIF, Asian Banker, Event Creation Network).
