Financial technology (fintech) is the digital delivery of financial
products and services via the Internet or a mobile phone.
Entrepreneurial start-ups, mature businesses, digital-only banks,
and global technology companies are leveraging technology to solve
customer pain points and provide financial solutions that are
cheaper, easier to use, faster, and more convenient than
traditional methods. Fintech Explained provides a rigorous,
accessible introduction to the landscape of fintech. Michael R.
King explains the customer focus, innovation strategy, business
model and valuation of leading fintechs in crypto and decentralized
finance (DeFi), crowdfunding and online lending, robo-advice and
digital wealth management, payments and insurtech, digital banking,
and bigtech. The book profiles the successes and failures of over
thirty high-profile fintechs from North and South America, Europe,
and Asia, including Wealthsimple’s pitch to angel investors, Wise
Financial’s market opportunity in online money transfers,
Nubank’s value proposition as a digital-only bank, and Ant
Group’s multi-sided platform in financial services, among others.
The book combines insights from founders, early-stage investors,
financial incumbents, and other stakeholders in this dynamic
ecosystem. Combining clear descriptions and cases studies with the
latest findings from academic research, Fintech Explained provides
a complete course for educating undergraduate and graduate
students, executives, and interested professionals.
