• The overall growth in fintech mobile apps, their install rates and market penetration (from 2.5 to 3.5 per person), and whether that growth is sustainable

• The implications for incumbents from this competition, and in particular the impact on money in motion vs. money at rest

• Broader financial product penetration and an anchoring in how the technology industry was able to get more attention that we had to give
