Over the past decade emerging technologies, paired with massive changes in regulations, have driven an unprecedented transformation of finance around the world. This process is happening more rapidly in China and Asia than anywhere else. New players such as start-ups and technology firms are challenging traditional players in finance, bringing democratisation, inclusion and disruption. Companies engaged in social media, e-commerce, and telecommunications, as well as, companies and start-ups with large customer data pools, creative energies, and technical capacities, have brought competition to the existing financial infrastructure and are remaking the industry. These transformations have not only created challenges but also unprecedented opportunities, building synergies with new business and regulatory models, particularly in emerging markets and developing countries. This course is designed to explore FinTech fundamentals and help make sense of this wave of change as it happens. During this course learners will explore and understand the concept of FinTech and its related subdomains.
