A primer on new Fintech
The pioneers and early adopters of new technology have historically predicted the demise of the older market leaders. While some old companies crumble in the face of new technology, the smart ones adapt and work new technology concepts into their business models.
What you see in the financial sector today follows that pattern. Banks, lenders, investment firms and others are realizing that concepts such as cyber currency, non-fungible tokens and remote access offer real business opportunities. Those who don’t may want to avoid long-term office leases.
Fintech offers new challenges to go along with these opportunities. Tomorrow’s financial firms must be flexible but reliable; they face new regulatory challenges and are expected to be accessible and inclusive.
This quick study presents a collection of InformationWeek articles focused on fintech and the role of technology concepts that were unheard of a decade ago. It gives an insight into what fintechs are doing with new technologies and how these technologies are preparing businesses for the future.
