Watch the recording of this webinar, recorded on February 18, 2022, on our YouTube Channel.
In our previous faiVLive webinar with Jesse McWaters, Head of Global Digital Public Policy at Mastercard, we demystified digital money systems and discussed what blockchains are, the differences between mobile money, digital currency and cryptocurrency, and the possibilities that digitization opens.
But an hour was just not enough. Back for a second run, Tim and Jesse continued their conversation, and grappled with questions focused on applications of digital currency to advance financial inclusion, cybersecurity, and the interplay between regulation, consumer protection and innovation.
Featuring:
Jesse McWaters, Global Heal of Regulatory Advocacy, Mastercard
Timothy Ogden, Managing Director, Financial Access Initiative at NYU Wagner
For a refresher on what we discussed last time read our Q&A blog posts on Digital Money Explained, Part A and Part B.
This faiVLive was presented in collaboration with the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth.

Editor's Note:
If you were hoping that the faiV would be a pleasant distraction from the overwhelming flow of AI-related content, sorry. For the record, the faiV had “ai” built in before Anthropic existed. And a housekeeping note: we’ve finally jumped ship from Mailchimp to NYU’s mailing platform—I guess if you’re reading this it’s been a seamless transition and if you’re not, well, you’re not. Feedback on the faiV’s content and format and delivery methods is always welcome, just drop me an email.
