Key areas of the fintech ecosystem

Fintech's main strength is that it automates, accelerates and transforms traditional financial services into a more convenient user experience. This field is not limited to banks — it is digitizing many functions of the real economy: from payment technologies to digital banking, from credit and risk management to investment and cryptocurrency solutions.

What areas does fintech cover?

  • Payment technologies (PayTech): Platforms such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Stripe, PayPal and Adyen, along with QR and NFC payments, make payments take only seconds in physical and online environments
  • Digital banking (BankTech): Mobile banking apps, neobanks like Revolut, N26, Monzo, digital cards and online lending platforms
  • Credit and risk management (LendTech): Risk analysis with AI-based scoring algorithms, online lending systems, BNPL models and alternative data
  • Investment and asset management (WealthTech): Robo-advisor systems, apps like Robinhood and eToro, automated portfolio management
  • Cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies: Cryptocurrency exchanges, NFT and smart contract technologies, tokenization and custody services — the main advantage of blockchain is immutability and transparency
