PALM BEACH, Fla., March 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FN Media Group News Commentary – FinTech companies provide various financial technology services, tools, or solutions to other businesses (B2B) as a service. These services are typically delivered over the cloud, allowing other companies to integrate and use financial technology capabilities without developing these technologies in-house. Moreover, financial technology providers offer a wide range of financial services and technology solutions, including payment processing, Peer To Peer (P2P) lending platforms, fraud detection, blockchain technology, and more solutions. These services are significantly used by banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, and others. Thus, growing focus on adoption of advanced technology in financial institutions to fulfill customer expectations is expected to drive the fintech industry growth. A report from Fortune Business Insights projected that the fintech market size is projected to grow to USD 882.30 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 17% during the forecast period (2023-2030). The report said: “The pandemic accelerated the digital transformation of financial services. As businesses and consumers increasingly turned to online and mobile banking, there was a growing demand for financial technology platforms. In addition, financial technology companies offering payment and transaction processing services experienced a surge in demand as e-commerce, contactless payments, and digital wallets became more prevalent during the pandemic.” Active companies in the markets this week include AppTech’s FinZeo(TM) (NASDAQ: APCX), Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NU), PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL), Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN), SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI).
Fortune Business Insights continued: “Moreover, the economic impact of the pandemic led to an increased demand for lending and credit services. These companies offering digital lending platforms and credit scoring solutions saw growth in this period. These factors fueled the fintech market growth during the pandemic. North America is leading the fintech market share globally with market value of USD 89.61 billion in 2022. The growing need for customization, regulatory compliance, cross-selling opportunities, and FinTech industry trends are some of the key factors driving market growth in the region. North America, particularly Silicon Valley, is a global center for fintech innovation. Financial technology leverages this environment to drive continuous innovation in financial services.”
