The Venture Center's FinTech Accelerator will host a virtual roundtable on Oct. 26 via YouTube Live with U.S. Rep. French Hill (R-Ark.) and U.S. Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) over compliance and regulation in the financial technology and banking industries.
Hill and Wagner sit on the House Financial Services Committee. The Venture Center said the issue has been gaining momentum in Congress; the House passed a resolution with bipartisan support last month that advocated for a national policy regarding consumer access to financial technology and online commerce.
Participants will be able to ask questions during the event.
This comes as applications for the next accelerator have been coming in. Preliminary reviews are underway with formal reviews to follow later this month.
