Top seven trends in the fintech industry:
- Payments through NFC: Near Field Communication, or NFC, is already redefining the mode of payment. People can now hold their bank cards up to a reader to make payments - and many nations are using this technology to enable contactless payments. It’s also built into most modern smartphones. The technology can even be surgically fixed into a person so that they can make payments just with a wave of their hand. However, it’s not so far until humans can be seen walking around with implants. As NFC heads towards full maturity, it’ll be interesting to see the new ways in which we can use it – specifically with more and more wearable devices entering the market.
- Multi-currency digital wallets: Remember the times when we had difficulty in exchanging currencies? The rise of new fintech trends has enabled the interruption of currency exchange systems which, until lately, have been entirely ruled by traditional players. The past few years have observed a stable growth in digital wallets mainly due the comfort and security they offer. Digital wallet stores a user’s payment information securely and efficiently; thus, eradicating the need to carry a physical wallet. For instance, a mobile app like CashDash allows you to buy, assemble, and return foreign currency. Also, unlike most digital wallets, the app does not need an ‘old school’ credit card.
- Cryptocurrencies: A digital currency that makes use of blockchain technology and functions in a regionalized network format is known as cryptocurrency. Blockchains are distributed digital ledgers that store a cluster of transactions in groups connected to each other using digital keys. Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) is one of the vital fintech trends that stakeholders of financial services should be aware of in 2018. ICO is a substitute of crowdfunding that has appeared outside of the traditional financial system. It is a critical source of funding for numerous companies, and startups to start their businesses. ICOs are events where buyers are permitted to purchase newly issued tokens in exchange for popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin that usually range from one or more weeks.
