What is Fintech?
“Fintech is changing the finance sector just like the Internet changed the written press and the music industries. In what is a stagnant sector monopolized by banks, finance is ripe for innovation and fintech is unquestionably the catalyst needed for change.”
- Philippe Gelis, CEO of Kantox
Essentially, financial technology is the intersection between financial services and technology. Ever used Venmo or PayPal?
That's Fintech.
