The financial services industry was rocked by headlines about Wirecard.

Welcome to the latest installment of After Dark, titled 'Ripping up the rule book', recorded live in New York City! Our expert hosts, David M. Brear and Gwera Kiwana, are joined by some great guests to delve into the premise that DeFi and embedded finance are the punk and hip-hop of financial services respectively. While Defi took punk’s DIY ethic and disrespect for its predecessors, embedded finance’s strategy of sampling and reworking the hits of yesteryear is straight from hip-hops playbook.
