See you at Nordic Fintech Week 2024? 🌞 The Nordic region has led the way in integrating digital financial services with the public sector, providing efficient, user-friendly platforms. The Nordic countries are at the 🌊 forefront of digital governance, where financial services are seamlessly integrated with public sector functions. This includes everything from tax filing and social security to digital banking and payment systems. The 💰 financial sector has a history of being an early adopter of digital technologies. For example, Denmark was the first country to make electronic securities trading, replacing physical securities with digital records in 1983. At the same time, the public sector in Denmark has pursued a strong 📲 digital agenda for many years, guided by Joint Government Digital Strategies. These strategies involve collaboration between national, regional, and local governments to build a unified digital public sector. We have always had a strong tradition of good collaboration between the private and public sectors. That also goes for the banks’ cooperation with different public entities. With the public sector focus on digital strategies, it has therefore been quite natural to extend the collaboration to the public sector in the digital realm.

The Global FinTech Hackcelerator, organized by MAS and in partnership with Elevandi, focuses on innovative solutions to address problem statements centered on “Improving Financial Health”. This year, a total of 77 proposals were submitted, representing teams from more than 10 countries around the globe, and we are proud to be among the 18 finalists shortlisted for the Singapore FinTech Festival, 2024! This recognition is a significant step forward in bringing the future of legacy planning and death tech solutions into the global spotlight. We are honoured by the judges' trust in our vision. Being part of the SFF means more than just recognition; it’s an opportunity to redefine legacy for today and tomorrow. Why is Legacy Planning Essential? ✅ It goes beyond just managing your finances—it's about preserving your values, memories, and sentimental treasures that define who you are. ✅ Without a clear plan, your loved ones could face the burden of financial disarray—navigating through disorganized assets, unclaimed funds, and potential legal complications. ✅ In moments of grief, decision-making can be overwhelming. The burden of having to make critical choices about finances, assets, and other important matters can add significant stress to an already difficult situation. A well-prepared legacy plan minimizes these pressures by laying out your wishes in a clear and organized manner. We’re counting down the days to connect, learn, and inspire new conversations about the evolving world of legacy planning and death tech. We would also like to acknowledge our leadership team- Vishal Mehta, Ashwin V Jain, Nitesh Yadav, Divyank Jain, and Snigdha Nanduri, who will be attending the festival along with a few members from Mitt Arv. See You Soon, Singapore!  #SingaporeFinTechFestival2024 #FinTech #MittArv #legacyplanning #deathtech
