ECON176 CM - Principles of FinTech

FinTech is a contraction of “Financial Technology” and deals with the application of new technologies and innovative processes to financial services. While many times FinTech is associated with start-ups, the incumbents in financial services are actively searching for ways to remain relevant in this environment of fast and aggressive innovation. In this class we will begin with a high-level examination of the entire FinTech ecosystem and then will conduct deep dives into the different functional areas including payments and money transfer, digital banking, lending markets (P2P lending, online lending), wealth management and robo-advisors, InsurTech (insurance technology), etc.
