Fintech


The way that we think about money and finance is changing. This is part of the broader digital transformation of business. As technology changes every aspect of business, finance is also being transformed by technology. The growing intersection of finance and technology is called fintech (finance + technology). It is the future of finance. Fintech is a broad term that describes the growing number of startups in finance as well as the growing emphasis on technology inside large legacy firms like commercial banks. Consider the radical implications of technology innovations in the history of capitalism, such as the mechanized combine for farming and the factory production line for manufacturing. Now that we are in the Information Age, many of the innovations are in the use and application of information. This makes finance a sector that is well-positioned to benefit from new ideas and possibly even a paradigm shift (a different way of looking at things).
