Fintech is the new financial industry that applies technology and innovation to deliver financial services using new applications, processes, products, or business models provided as end-to-end processes via the Internet.Smartphones for mobile banking, investing services and cryptocurrency aim to make financial services more accessible to the general public. Startups and established financial institutions and technology companies are trying to replace or enhance the usage of financial services provided by existing financial companies. Financial technology has been used to automate insurance, trading, and risk management etc.Global investment in financial technology increased 2,200% from $930 million in 2008 to more than $22 billion in 2015, and is estimated to be in excess of $30 billion at this time.Fintech India 2020 exhibition and conference will explore this nascent financial technology industry.
