FinTech LIVE: Interview with Marcin Glogowski, Marqeta

The flagship event of the global FinTech LIVE series, FinTech LIVE London 2024 was dedicated to inspiring and empowering C/V/D level fintech executives in enterprise organisations. 

Our hybrid FinTech LIVE London 2024 event provided a dynamic and interactive online platform, allowing attendees to connect, learn, and exchange insights on the latest trends, challenges, and best practices in fintech and financial services.

Cultivating a vibrant atmosphere, FinTech LIVE London enabled fintech leaders from the UK and Europe to forge connections and delve deeper into the most pressing fintech issues facing their organisations. 

Here, we recap our exclusive FinTech LIVE London interview with Marcin Glogowski, SVP, MD for Europe and UK CEO at Marqeta.

How is the fintech boom in Europe shaping up today and what role is Marqeta playing in it? 

“The major boom is still ahead of us. We've seen signals and various cases, but making it the standard is yet to come. I believe brands are just beginning to realise how much potential lies in embedded finance. 

“Ultimately, I think there is a great future for the growth of embedded finance, and we are uniquely positioned to participate in and support this boom. 

“Not only do we have touchpoints and experience with virtually every type of potential use case, but we are also the ones who have been tested to the maximum when it comes to scale. 

“These are very strong differentiators that enable us to continue supporting players and brands moving forward.”

How could financial regulation changes impact the industry and Marqeta? 

“For every scaled company in the sector, regulation and regulatory changes are simply part of business as usual. 

“Being a scaled player means we have the resources and maintain a high level of attention and focus, not only on immediate changes but also on longer-term developments. 

“This is such a high-priority element for us that we typically—indeed, always—come prepared and ready.”

What are some of your upcoming goals? 

“Particularly in Europe, we plan to continue the remarkable and substantial growth we've seen quarter over quarter. From first quarter last year to first quarter this year, our European business grew by nearly 90%. 

“We are building the brand, but doing so very sustainably. We'll continue investing in Europe and our European fintech capabilities, potentially aiming to see year-on-year growth reach triple digits rather than just strong double digits.”
