FinTech Futures: When will the broker force awaken?

If you are a person of a certain age and disposition this week was particularly exciting for two reasons: a new trailer was released for the seventh Star Wars movie and tickets also went on sale. You might question what this has to do with Fin Tech Futures, the broking market and all thing omni- channel, and I will come to that shortly. During the last two weeks I have chaired and attended a number of events at which these subjects were very much at the centre of the conversation, and as a result I have jotted down a few observations, one of which is particularly relevant to both the Force Awakens and the future of the intermediary sector.
