Notes to Editors

About "Disruptive Fintech"

FinTech, or financial technology, is being used to disrupt the financial sector

Essentially, technology that engages with or delivers financial services. There are two distinct groups - the early innovators - FinTech businesses who provide software and services to financial services and a newer, emerging category - the B2P pioneers. These companies are truly disrupting the market for lending and challenging traditional providers by taking financial services direct to the most powerful game-changer of all: the consumer.
