Hi Reader,
It’s been a while since anything came from The Fintech Prompt — and if you noticed the silence, thank you for still being here.
Sometimes, stepping away from something gives you a better view of what it could become. Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the chance to explore opportunities in a completely different sector. That shift gave me distance — and with it, a fresh perspective.
Now, I’m rebuilding The Fintech Prompt. Not from scratch, but with new energy and sharper focus.
What’s changing?
🔹 Less lectures, more curiosity;
🔹 Less “I know it all,” more “let’s explore together”;
🔹 Less overload, more fun + context + meaning.
The Fintech Prompt has always been a space to ask thoughtful questions about fintech — not just what’s happening, but how it shows up in real life, and why it matters.
That hasn’t changed.
But the lens is a little clearer now.
You can expect:
Weekly prompts that explore the overlaps between fintech, culture, access, and power
Light but layered takes on the tools and systems people actually use — both formal and informal
Crossovers with law, infrastructure, digital habits, and the invisible parts of financial life
This isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room.
It’s about staying curious, reflective, and honest — even in a fast-moving space.
What hasn’t changed?
The core intention.
This is still a space to:
Make fintech more human, not more hype.
Learn in public — with clarity, not performance.
Explore financial technology in a way that includes the people often left out of the spotlight.
If you’ve ever felt like fintech content talks at you instead of with you — this space is for you.
Thank you for being here.
Whether you’ve followed The Fintech Prompt from the beginning or this is your first time here, I’m glad we’re crossing paths now.
Here’s to asking better questions — and enjoying the process of figuring it out together. Let’s start again, slower, smarter, and softer.
→ What part of fintech confuses or excites you most? I’d love to know!
Until the next prompt,
Vivien
