Fintech is the abbreviation of “financial technology” and likely plays a bigger part in your current day-to-day life than you may even know. A company is said to be involved in fintech if it dedicates a significant portion of its operations to developing or offering products that are particularly innovative in the way our current financial system works. As such, these companies have the distinct opportunity to massively disrupt current financial operations and completely change the way these functions are conducted through their technology.
