Ethikom: Harness the Power of Smart Compliance

Top 10 FinTech Consulting/Service Companies - 2020

Today, banks and other financial institutions are increasingly adopting strong customer-centric models that deliver an enhanced customer experience. The financial technology (fintech) industry is playing a pivotal role in effectuating this transition. With the increase in venture capital (VC) funding and technological advancements, fintech is spurring a new wave of services in the industry. From personal digital assistants to investment tools, fintech is responsible for some of the most innovative and intuitive solutions in the financial services industry. Thanks to fintech, financial services and technology have converged together today, and with this union comes both synergies and disruptions.

On that front, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning remain the prominent technologies that influence the rapid growth and development of new solutions in the fintech industry. For instance, AI is extensively being leveraged to develop personal digital assistants, provide personal financial advice, and enhance customer engagement. And through machine learning, these AI-engineered chatbots and assistants can get smarter with time. Similarly, big data can enable financial institutions to provide personal and actionable insights to customers. Utilizing big data, these institutions can also give relevant product and service recommendations to potential customers using targeted marketing. Blockchain is another major technology that can disrupt the sector. While the growth of blockchain has been slow in the sector, it can significantly improve the speed and security of financial transactions.
