If your business needs to leverage technology to create better financial services, this program will help you understand disruptions in the fintech industry across a broad cross-section of products and services, from traditional banking to blockchain. The goal is for you to create an action plan to foster innovation in your organization. You will learn how fintech can help you reach untapped markets, reduce costs, create economies of scale, and improve customer experience.
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?
