What does the future of fintech look like in this era of digitization?

FinTech related technologies and innovative concepts have significantly changed the face of Indian financial services. India currently leads the race for FinTech adoption by a wide margin, with an acceptance rate of 87% compared to the world average of 64%. According to a study conducted by EY, the Indian FinTech business is predicted to generate $200 billion in revenue and $1 trillion in assets by 2030.

FinTech has significantly impacted the global financial industry over the past decade. Indian FinTech is expanding as a consequence of a series of promising efforts by the government and appropriate regulators, a thriving funding environment, a thriving venture capital (VC) ecosystem, undeniably huge demographic potential, high FinTech acceptance and access to talent and innovation for the entrepreneurs who build it new India.

There are concerns with this, such as privacy and data security risks in partnership setups and uneven acceptance by digital financial institutions, but there is a significant silver lining in this case. FinTech’s opportunities are far greater than the challenges. Due to the under-penetration of traditional financial sector players in rural, aging population, unorganized and gigs, financial inclusion remains a government objective.

The outlook for FinTech:

Traditional banks in India have failed to provide the common people with affordable and quality financial services. No one wants to visit a real bank, wait in long lines and complete a lot of paperwork. This is why digital-only banks are being established to enable account opening and money transactions from anywhere and anytime. It can reduce costs and increase availability.

Digitization is one of the sweeping changes that has affected many industries, including banking. Massive technical and structural changes are currently taking place and are fast becoming the new norm. With the introduction of digital banks, efficiency and user-friendliness have improved.

FinTech has fundamentally changed how financial transactions are carried out and concluded. Most transactions are now done electronically through online banking or mobile apps. This means that people do not need to go to banks to make such important transactions.

FinTech services are adaptable, fast and affordable due to cutting edge technology.

FinTech’s virtual operations, adaptability and lack of regulation as a depository institution or source of venture capital allow it to be efficient despite its low price.

Challenges

Data security and application privacy

Due to the nature of their business, FinTech companies store vast amounts of highly sensitive consumer data, including SSNs, credit card numbers, income and investment information, and more. Because telephone and online banking services are used, this information is always at risk in transit. As a result, this information is extremely sensitive. FinTech’s application security and data protection are therefore always accompanied by a risk factor. Information security is becoming increasingly important.

Compliance and Administrative Laws

Starting a financial business is difficult. Due to fraud alerts and data breaches, it is now significantly more difficult to get approval to launch a FinTech company. Besides being burdensome to comply with, these restrictions make it difficult for FinTech companies to access the Indian market. To combat fraud, make the regulation work as a strict regulation. They are also significant challenges for budding FinTech companies. Before they can begin operations, FinTech startups must meet a long list of requirements.

Customized services

It can be difficult for companies to adapt and deliver customized services, as we all know. Although it is the most important and vital component of banking, businesses struggle to deliver it. Personalization currently means communicating with a user in real time via their preferred channel. Customers define personalized services as those tailored to match their specific needs. On any other basis, they are not willing to come to an agreement.

The Indian public adapts quickly to these technological advances as they occur. In addition, people increasingly rely on their mobile devices for all payment and banking needs. This evolution of financial services makes people’s lives smarter and more convenient.
