FinTech is a portmanteau of financial technology that describes an emerging financial services sector in the 21st century. Originally, the term referred to technology applied to the back-end of established consumer and trade financial institutions. Since the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the term has expanded to include any technological innovation in the financial sector, including innovations in financial literacy and education, retail banking, investment and even crypto-currencies like bitcoin. Underlying the exponential growth of FinTech in recent years, market participants are gradually aware of the risks embedded in the products, processes and technologies.
