The future of fintech
The finance industry is currently experiencing that digital disruption is changing their business fundamentally. Both incumbent and FinTechs player are competing for newly energized digital-friendly customers - a segment that has grown dramatically due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We often hear that economic crises and fundamental shifts in society create challenges but also new opportunities for innovative companies and in particular entrepreneurs. While Covid-19 might have slowed other industries down it has sped up many FinTech trends. Who wants to pay with cash when you can use contactless payment? Who wants to go into a bank when you can do everything online? And who doesn’t want to do a bit of investing and trading on the phone while working from home?
