This document discusses how fintech is disrupting traditional finance by lowering barriers and expanding access. It notes that 4 billion people own smartphones, dramatically lowering distribution barriers. Traditional banking is ripe for disruption from fintech as customers, regulations, and capital/risk dynamics change. Fintech aims to create virtuous cycles by generating data/insights from payments, loans, accounts and credit cards to build adjacent services and improve customers' financial health. The document advocates developing cultural empathy, providing utility with trust, and serving adjacencies to build successful fintech products.
