To understand how Fintech will change banking, we need to understand what it is and what it isn’t. Fintech, or financial technology, refers to any technology that uses information systems to facilitate financial services in some way or another.

Since the birth of the internet itself, it’s been around when banking services started offering online versions of their tools and services that can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection and a computer, rather than requiring users to visit one of their branches physically.

Banks have dominated finance for centuries, but these firms—with names like Zelle, Venmo, and WePay—are redefining what it means to the bank. No longer reserved for their brick-and-mortar locations, customers can access their money from anywhere.

It’s not just about banks versus startups anymore. The Silicon Valley of financial services is popping up worldwide: In countries like Kenya and China, tech companies are revolutionizing mobile payments and services for things like insurance, loans, etc.
