Program description
Fintech is the area where new technologies and finance meet. The financial sector is already evolving due to new technologies.
People no longer visit banks; instead, they prefer to use digital platforms for payments, trade online, and manage their funds. They also engage with financial intermediaries in a variety of ways; they own digital currencies, distributed ledger technologies offer intriguing new insights, and large tech companies are also making inroads into the finance sector.
This program offers a thorough examination of the three essential components—techniques, business models, and methodologies—that are required to fully capitalize on the opportunities presented by the fintech revolution. Both the startup and the incumbent perspectives are discussed.
