FOREWORD
Fintech is shaping the future of financial services, and
traditional banks and financial organizations need to
adapt quickly to the changed environment in order
to survive. Various startups have disrupted the market
and have upped the ante not only in terms of
technological advancement, but also business
models and more importantly, customer experience.
It is estimated that 59% of customers in North
America, 61% in Western Europe and 59% in the Asia-
Pacific are using Fintech products. While some banks
have made progress in adoption of new Fintech
services, many bankers have not yet realized the
magnitude of change the financial services industry is
undergoing and underestimate the impact Fintech

disruptors. Financial organizations must develop a
