• Fintech, a combination for 'financial
technology,' refers to technology-enabled
financial solutions used to improve the delivery
of financial services
• It refers to software, algorithms, and
applications for both desktop and mobile-
based tools, and at times, includes hardware
• Fintech platforms are designed to perform run-
of-the-mill activities such as depositing checks,
transferring money among accounts, paying
bills, or requesting financial aid
• Moreover, in recent years, they have
performed technically intricate actions like
peer-to-peer lending or crypto exchanges
What is Fintech?

• The phrase “fintech” was added to the
Merriam-Webster dictionary as recently as
2018, but its concepts and ideas date back
decades
• Today, the term reminds us of
cryptocurrencies and start-up banks, but
its roots can be traced to the late 19th
century, when people could move money
around by telegrams and morse codes.
And followed by that was a cutting-edge
innovation at the time, ATMs in the 1860s
• The evolution of fintech has been gradual,
but each innovation in this area has been
distinctive and has changed the way
consumers interact with their money
History of Fintech

• All fintech firms with the means of their apps
and digital systems have hit the right nerves of
this fast-paced generation and automated the
tedious traditional processes, providing great
ease to the customers
• Today's consumers can avoid visiting bank
branches to apply for a loan or get a mortgage.
Moreover, portfolio management has become
easy as investors can pursue their investment
options online or even take the help of
chatbots to make decisions without having to
meet a financial expert face-to-face
• Fintech has started being a part of our
conversations since the transformation of
society into a more technologically modern
one

• “Digital technology provides a low-cost way for
people in developing countries to send money
to each other, buy and sell goods, borrow and
save as long as the financial-regulation
environment is supportive.”
• Proving Gates' statement correct, the following
sectors came into action by aptly transforming
conventional financial services to today's
digital era,
• Government bodies (central banks, regulators,
wealth funds, etc.)
• Traditional financial services firms
• Tech companies offering financial services
• Firms providing technology for financial
transactions
In the Words of Bill Gates

• The evolution of fintech in India has been
extremely promising
• According to the recent KPMG Pulse of Fintech
H1'21 report, the fintech sector attracted over
$2 billion in investments in the first half of
2021. This shows that the total investment into
India's fintech sector has already crossed 90
percent of the 2020 figure
• It is maturing rapidly, and with the buoyancy in
the IPO market in 2021, fintech unicorns will
be able to tap into the strong capital market by
going public
• The amount of growth in the sector also
confirms the understanding, acknowledgment,
and acceptance of the various domains where
fintech has marked a significant difference
