  Observed Growth ofFinTech Services in INDIA Source- Indiabriefingnews_uture-fintech-india-opportunities-challenges, 2019 Fintech service firms are currently redefining the way companies and consumers conduct transactions on a daily basis. This is why global investments into fintech ventures have been increasing at record speed – tripling to US$ 12.2 billion in 2014 from US$ 4.05 billion in 2013 and reaching US$ 19.1 billion in 2015. In India, the scale has been much smaller but at similar growth rates – investment in India’s fintech industry grew 282 percent between 2013 and 2014 and reached US$ 450 million in 2015. While traditional banks (around 100) and NBFCs (around 1100) in India use technology to simply calculate credit scores, fintech ventures use machine learning algorithms and alternative data points such as social media footprints, call records, shopping histories, and payments to utility service providers to increase efficiency and provide greater access to credit. The turnaround time is also much faster for the approval and disbursal of loans by fintech firms despite several banks (State Bank of India, ICICI, HDFC, and Axis bank) digitizing and speeding up these processes markedly.

  Scope of FinTechServices in INDIA Source- Indiabriefingnews_uture-fintech-india-opportunities-challenges, 2019 • India has a large untapped market for financial service technology startups – 40% of the population are currently not connected to banks and 87% of payments are made in cash. • With mobile phone penetration expected to increase to 85-90% in 2020 from 65-75% currently, and internet penetration steadily climbing, the growth potential for fintech in India cannot be overstated. • Moreover, by some estimates, as much as 90% of small businesses are not linked to formal financial institutions.

  Community banks &credit unions will never have the same resources as larger ones to create the Amazon-like customer friendly experience. But there are a lot of new capabilities like open APIs and cloud-based delivery that they can take advantage of to build digital experience in cost-effective ways A progressive growth in AI & Machine Learning Demand The technologies we’ll see much more are artificial intelligence and machine learning, which have clearer applications and benefits. We’ll see AI dominate in the coming year not as a product itself, but as a crucial ingredient in back-end technology. So while it won’t be recognizable by consumers, it will be pervasive. Financial institutions and FinTechs will spend more time working on and launching better ways for consumers to have more control of their cards and their personal information. Forget Me & New text-messaging tools for authorizing or preauthorizing transactions, as well as authentication tools for validating users based on login and engagements will all provide additional hurdles for fraudsters to navigate. Data breaches won’t let up, but we will see crucial developments in authentication and combating fraud Consumers who are becoming more accustomed to spending money without reaching into their wallets. However, while contactless payments will be huge in 2019, it won’t see wholesale adoption because of the cost to issuers. While the big banks are being more aggressive in this space, other financial institutions will roll out contactless technology as cards expire, instead of as a mass reissue. Industry will move in the direction of contactless technology Points and loyalty will become more of a currency Future of FinTech 2019-25 Source-paymentsource.com_Fintech_Predictions, 2019 Smaller banks’ digital capability won’t reach that of the big banks, but open banking and other disruptive technology will help narrow the gap Strides are being made in the loyalty space that will allow people to redeem their rewards at a point of sale, whether it’s saving money on gas or getting a free item at a retailer. On the back end, loyalty processors will spend less time on marketing and recordkeeping and will shift their focus toward technologies augmented with real-time settlement.

  Future of FinTechServices in INDIA Source- Indiabriefingnews_future-fintech-india-opportunities-challenges, 2019 Services Predictions and companies/startups involved Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Lending Companies use alternative credit models and data sources to provide consumers and businesses with faster and easier access to capital. P2P lending allows online services to directly match lenders with borrowers who may be individuals or businesses. Companies/Startups- Lendbox, Faircent, i2iFunding, Shiksha Financial, GyanDhan, and MarketFinance Payment Companies allow both private individuals and businesses to accept payments over the web and on mobile without needing merchant accounts. Transfers are made directly to the bank account linked to the payee in order to secure against fraud Companies/Startups- Mobikwik, Paytm, and Oxigen Wallet Remittance A few startup ventures, albeit registered abroad, are trying to address the gaps in remittance transactions (both inbound and outbound) as the current process is cumbersome and expensive. These startups aim to disrupt the current monopoly held by firms like Western Union and MoneyGram. Companies/Startups- Instarem, FX, and Remitly Personal Finance/ Retail Investment Fintech companies are also growing around the need to provide customized financial information and services to individuals, that is, how to save, manage, and invest one’s personal finances based on one’s specific needs. Companies/Startups- FundsIndia.com, Scripbox, PolicyBazaar, and BankBazaar Equity Funding Crowdfunding platforms that enable the funding of a project or business venture by raising funds from a large number of people. Such internet-mediated platforms are gaining popularity across the world as access to venture capital is often difficult to secure. These services are particularly targeted at the early stage of a businesses’ operation. Companies/Startups- Ketto, Wishberry, and Start51 Cryptocurrency India being a more conservative market where cash transactions still dominate, usage of digital financial currency such as ‘bitcoin’ has not seen much traction when compared to international markets Companies/Startups- Unocoin, Coinsecure, and Zebpay

  Top 10 Trendsin Indian FinTech Industry’2019 1. Specialized players may help with offline on-boarding Looking at the industry-wide impact, many FinTech's have turned to offline collection of documents to keep their operations afloat. However, 2019 might well see an interesting trend with the evolution of specialized players who support FinTech's by helping them onboard offline customers. 2. Payment ecosystem coming under the ambit of the RBI Just a month into 2019, and the Reserve Bank of India’s intention to regulate the digital payments space in the country is becoming increasingly clear. The apex bank has not just formed a digital payments committee with former UIDAI Chairman Nandan Nilekani at the helm, but has also launched an Ombudsman Scheme for Digital Transactions (OSDT) for redressal of complaints regarding digital transactions.

  Top 10 Trendsin Indian FinTech Industry’2019 3. The narrative around digital payments ‘WILL BE’ on offline Analysts predict that payments as an industry has come of age, with players doubling their presence in the offline space. Merchant discount rates (MDRs), a charge for facilitating digital transactions, is no longer expected to be the cornerstone of conversation. Neither will it provide any competitive advantage to a given form of payment. In September last year, the Payments Corporation of India (PCI) had raised concerns over non-receipt of reimbursements relating to MDRs. 4. Voice and vernacular will be the next frontier Indian payments startups’ major challenge is to grow the pie and focus their services on the next 500 million users. Manish Jain, Partner, Fintech, at KPMG, believes that voice and vernacular will be their vehicle to do so. Source- Indiabriefingnews_future-fintech-india-opportunities-challenges, 2019

  Top 10 Trendsin Indian FinTech Industry’2019 5. In wealth management, savings products could be provided as incentives Last year, payment companies increasingly started morphing into financial service entities. Digital payment majors Paytm and PhonePe stepped into wealth management last year. While Paytm launched its direct mutual funds platform Paytm Money in September, Gurugram-based MobiKwik chose to acquire startup Clearfunds for a faster release to market. 6. Lending will see small-ticket consolidations; some verticals may die 75 percent of Indian fintechs are either in lending or payments. In 2018, lending continued to be the hottest sub-sector, mopping up half the equity funding invested in Indian fintech.However, the last quarter of 2018 saw a liquidity crunch for lending startups due to IL&FS’s defaults. Still, one cannot deny that there has been a ripple effect on smaller NBFCs or fintechs relying on just one capital partner (or NBFC). The liquidity crunch is being perceived as a correction by the rapidly growing digital lending industry. Source- Indiabriefingnews_future-fintech-india-opportunities-challenges, 2019

  Top 10 Trendsin Indian FinTech Industry’2019 7. SME financing will continue to be bigger than consumer, might even birth a ‘unicorn’ Consumer and retail lending startups will find it difficult, but specialised SME lending startups will continue to grow. The focus will shift towards creation of new-age financial instruments like credit cards for corporates, automated bill discounting, treasury management, automated collateral evaluation, specific event-based insurance, AI-based hedge funds, etc. These will see good growth. 8. Underwriting will get precise, lead to better products Analysts also believe that lending will become more robust as a sector, owing to newer data sets and underwriting principles that lenders will leverage. With GST and other initiatives in place, lenders will be able to better access businesses before providing them loans. Source- Indiabriefingnews_future-fintech-india-opportunities-challenges, 2019

  Top 10 Trendsin Indian FinTech Industry’2019 9. AI and ML to become more mainstream Analysts add that AI, along with facial recognition networks, will resolve the onboarding process in backward areas, helping bring more individuals into the financial services arena. Today, the onboarding process is more complex, and includes signing in with different user IDs and passwords. This year, we might see AI-based digital identity solutions, which will simplify the experience further for the user 10. Personal data protection bill will shake up things for FinTech's 2019 should also see a new data protection law being tabled in Parliament, a draft of which was introduced last year. The Personal Data Protection Bill, 2018, states that a private entity must seek user consent before collecting personal data. A user can also choose to remove consent at any point while availing a service. This is expected to shake up the backend infrastructure of FinTech's, who will have to really prove the value for receiving a user’s consent to use their personal data. This means FinTech's will need to upgrade their infrastructure from a data privacy and client on-boarding perspective. Vivek believes there is the possibility of an alternative credit bureau.
