Fintech

Financial technology (fintech) has taken centre stage in the financial inclusion industry in recent years. The speed of fintech adoption in emerging markets is accelerating. Platforms are mushrooming and investment activities are increasing. At the same time, numerous governments and regulators across many jurisdictions are working to develop adequate fintech ecosystems, trying to keep pace with the market’s rapid growth. Fintech has been driving change across financial services for well over a decade, attracting many billions of dollars’ worth of investment along the way. Recent quarters have seen a slowing in the rate of deals being done but fintech innovation remains a very powerful economic driver across the global economy.

Fintech firms currently face a number of challenges such as emerging technologies, the need to constantly update and modernise operations, and a rapidly developing global market. The pandemic accelerated trends in the fintech sector such as the adoption of digital payments, the digitalisation of banking and increased funding of insure-tech firms.
