How is Fintech Changing the world?-slide 1
a) what is fintech?
- Short for financial+technology
-It includes huge range of products, technologies, and business models that are
changing the financial services industry at a great pace.
-It refers to everything from cashless payments, to crowdfunding platforms, to robo-
advisors, to virtual currencies.
- So, when anytime you donate to someone’s campaign by online mode, that’s Fintech;
or if you transfer money to someone using phonepe, gpay etc., that’s also fintech.

b) How is it changing the world at a huge scale?


-These days, hundreds of companies are trying to disrupt the banking and finance
industries by changing/modifying the way we pay and borrow money. And investors are
buying it.

-Yet it dropped from 2020 onwards due to global pandemic situation.(graph attached)
-Still, its making efforts, and startups, and lending firms are also establishing themselves
in this sector, thereby receiving majority of funds, from funding institutions.
-Its not just startups, that are getting into fintech, some of the world’s biggest companies
from Apple to Alibaba are going big on it too like Alipay, or Apple Pay.
-Its happening because, consumers are adapting to fintech quite fast.
-Also, one out of every three people across various economies report using at least two
fintech services in the last 6 months.
-Like, we can see this in case of China and India who are leading the way with more
than half of consumers are using services like money transfers, financial planning,
borrowing and lending and insurance.

-In fact, its estimated that nearly 2million people worldwide are without bank accounts.
But, now, thanks to FINTECH, all you need is your phone to take out a loan or insurance
or pay out for your monthly bills, expenditures, taxes. Ex- ClearTax. About which I shall
speak in a bit of detail in my next slide.
In conclusion, I would like to say that FinTech has the potential to reshape the financial
services and financial inclusion landscape in India in fundamental ways. It can reduce
costs and improve access and quality of financial services. We have to strike a subtle
balance between effectively utilising FinTech while minimising its systemic impacts. By
enabling technologies and managing risks, we can help create a new financial system
which is more inclusive, cost-effective and resilient.
Thankyou.
