To celebrate the scientific research behind our finances and the notes, coins and credit cards we often take for granted, Imperial College London are hosting a discussion, titled The Future of Money.
From the future content of your wallet, to the security of online banking and the emergence of new Fintech, Bitcoin and other digital currencies, our experts will ask how these developments will impact our daily lives, and the banking sectors that administers them.
