About this episode:

Quantum computing has been hailed as the next major technological breakthrough. But what does it actually mean for financial services, and how soon could it start making a difference?

In this episode of Fintech Insider Insights, Benjamin Ensor is joined by Dave Starling, Head of Future Products Technology at NatWest Group; Amna Usman Chaudhry, Financial Economist, Autonomous Finance Leader and author of KYS: Know Your Swarm; and Ewan Silver, CTO at 11:FS Holdings, to explore the opportunities and risks quantum computing presents for the financial industry.

From financial modelling and risk assessment to portfolio optimisation and payments, they discuss where quantum technology could deliver real value and what's still holding it back.
