FINTECH companies have seen rapid growth and taken significant market share from traditional banks globally since 2014. They focus on profitable products, grow market share quickly, and operate below regulatory radar. While FINTECH investments are concentrated in the US, the internet has no borders, so all banks must transform digitally to compete. Traditional banks have weaknesses like over-regulated processes and legacy systems compared to FINTECH strengths like interconnected data and technology. Banks need to create win-win partnerships with FINTECH and customers to survive the disruption.
