The year is 2022. Most of us have grown dependent on the internet thanks to its time-saving abilities, helping us complete many tasks such as looking after our finances. We owe these improvements to FinTech: the technologies and digital platforms that help us keep track of our financial records. Fintech solutions like banking apps, online banking and other web-based financial services are now widely adopted by financial institutions to improve business operations and customer experiences.

The parallel growth of investment technology, governmental regulations and the use of IoT devices also explains why fintech is gaining popularity. Numerically speaking, the fintech market value is anticipated to reach $699.50 billion USD by 2030. The top 3 VC-funded fintech sectors between 2016 and 2021 were capital markets ($8.07 billion USD), payments ($6.03 billion USD), and wealth management ($5.43 billion USD).

Looking forward to the new year and the opportunities it has to offer? Join us next Wednesday, November 23rd for a webinar that will dive into the Top 10 Industries To Watch for in 2023 presented by Gazelle’s VP of Customer Success & Experience, Jenna Lane!
