About

The Peer-to-Peer Financial Systems Workshop (P2PFISY) is an annual summit for academics, central bankers, regulators, legislators, and practitioners to engage in conversations on the latest developments in P2P finance. Together, their work reshapes the financial sector and its services ecosystem. Initiated at the Deutsche Bundesbank by Paolo Tasca in 2015, P2PFISY has become a leading academic and policy conference.
