MALG and DIGIMASS are joining forces to hold a half day virtual fintech event which is open to all and exclusively free to MALG Members!
‘Let an app fill the gap’, which will be held via Zoom on 3 February 2021 9.30am- 12.30pm, will take you on a practical journey of how financial apps can help support consumers who are financially challenged in better managing their finances. Presentations and videos will bring to life the benefits of using apps and how they can support vulnerable people.
