The question: Why fintech? Disruptive financial technology is a fast-moving global phenomenon. In 2019, fintech investments amounted to $55.3 billion and fintech ranked among the top five industries with companies listing $1 billion valuation or higher. The question: Why now?

More than 80% of banking CEOs are concerned about the speed of technological change.
Industry analysts project the demand for fintech services to expand with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25-30% between 2019 and 2025.
