FAQs
What is Fintech?
Fintech, or financial technology, is a term that refers to modern technology that aims to improve and automate the delivery and usage of financial services. Fintech, in layman terms, is the use of specialised software and algorithms by businesses and commodities to manage financial activities.
Fintech now comprises a wide variety of sectors and industries, such as education, retail banking, nonprofit fundraising, and investment management, trading and more.
What are Fintech Conferences?
Fintech conferences provide a platform for investors, founders, executives, and startups to share their perspectives on the most recent technologies and topics in the fintech world. These conferences are packed with financial technology-related keynote speakers, panel discussions, and workshops.
What is Blockchain FinTech?
A blockchain, also known as distributed ledger, is a decentralised database that exists in identical copies on devices all over the world and belongs to everyone who is a member of that blockchain network. Each user has the same privileges to read and access previous transactions as well as to make database changes by initiating a transaction, which is subsequently saved in the database and visible to all other users.
Importantly, each transaction on the blockchain takes place directly between two or more parties, with no involvement from a third party. One of the reasons why people are turning to cryptocurrencies is that it eliminates the need for banks, clearinghouses, and transaction fees.
Who uses Fintech?
Almost everyone with internet access uses fintech. The payment applications such as Paypal or google pay are some examples of fintech applications.
Other sectors which use fintech are:
-
Mobile banking
-
Crowdfunding platforms
-
Roboadvisors
-
Cryptocurrency
-
Insurtech
-
Trading
How do banks use Fintech?
With the rise of the prominence of fintech, banks are starting to incorporate financial technologies into their services as well. Robust software to protect against fraud and other malicious behaviour is being developed in collaboration with other financial institutions.
Several banks have also launched AI-powered virtual assistants, which provide consumers with text and voice-enabled platforms for automating payments, deposits, transfers, and other transactions. In response to questions and requests, they can also provide extensive information.
