FinTech

FinTech is currently one of the fastest-growing sectors and is continuing to evolve rapidly, forecast to exceed $950 billion by 2030. Open Banking initiatives world-wide have enabled innovation and there is a huge opportunity for service providers in this space. FinTech businesses are revolutionizing the way we interact with money by using digital banking technology, artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithms, blockchain and automation as well as increasing accessibility to traditionally underserved populations.  

However, FinTech is not without its challenges.  

One of the biggest challenges facing the sector is the need to comply with a complex and ever-changing regulatory landscape. FinTech companies need to navigate a maze of regulations, including those relating to anti-money laundering, consumer protection and data privacy. As companies are often in hyperscale mode, there is also the need to raise money and provide a full range of legal solutions to the business as it scales.
