How many of us use our smart phones daily to check our bank balance, make payment transfers and manage our accounts? How often do we make purchases online using credit cards, PayPal or Apple Pay? When was the last time you went online to get a quote for your insurance, or an estimate for a mortgage? These are all examples of how we use Fintech in our everyday lives. The days of waiting in line at the bank or being put on hold for hours to our insurance company are coming to an end, and in their place are emerging technologies that make business and financial transactions far quicker, smoother, and more pain free than ever before.
