What is the Fintech Industry?
The financial technology, or fintech, industry, refers to the group of companies that are introducing innovation into financial services through the use of modern technologies. Some fintech firms compete directly with banks, whilst others have partnered with them or supply them with good or services. What is clear is that fintech companies are improving the financial services world through introducing innovative ideas, allowing for speedy delivery and increasing competition.
Financial technology integrates various types of financial service into the day to day lives of customers. Millennials, as well as the generations coming up behind them, are used to technology and want to manage their money in an easy and quick manner, instead of walking to physical branches to perform transactions and other operations.
Fintech is redefining financial services in the 21st century. Originally, the term applied to technology used in the back-end of established trade and consumer financial institutions. It has expanded to include various innovations in technology, including cryptocurrencies, machine learning, roboadvice and the Internet of Things.
