    FinTech is an abbreviation for Financial Technology. It is often used to describe an innovative use of technology in the design and delivery of financial products. FinTech is being used by banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions to deliver new services to users in a cost-effective manner. It is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world because of the potential disruption it can cause in the world of finance which is dominated by large government and private banks.

    The mobile phone has created numerous new opportunities for growth and innovation in the FinTech Sector. It is leveling the financial playing field by making services previously accessible to only institutional clients now available to the common man.

    The growth in Artificial Intelligence capabilities and Machine Learning will further transform the sector in the coming years as programs become more intuitive. Robo-advisors are expected to lead the next wave of wealth creation in society.

    While the digital performance of established banks is improving, it is yet to catch up with Fintech startups. This is because many of these firms are too large when compared to nimble-footed startups. They are bogged down by issues with legacy software systems and bureaucratic red-tape on modernization.
