FinTech: The Challenge
Technology is changing the way we do business while affecting every aspect of society— from the government to private firms. With ubiquitous smartphones and data stored in the Cloud, the financial landscape has not been omitted from technology’s reach.

Many companies are embracing technologies, such as blockchain-based systems, which offer exponential opportunities to companies as well as clients. It can also add new risks that include financial instability and loss of profits. This challenge for the FinTech industries will become a major concern for consumers when it comes to protecting customer accounts, developing creative security measures, and installing effective processes for better protection while increasing customer satisfaction.
At the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Understand what challenges the FinTech industry is facing in the changing financial landscape.
