Fintech remains hot area for venture capitalist investments

While the dollars flowing into other industry start-ups have declined in recent years, venture capitalists continue to invest heavily in start-ups within the financial and technology services industry.

Three key themes emerge regarding innovations in financial services

Recent fintech innovations can be categorised into three overriding themes: reaching the markets not served by traditional finance services companies; the rise of more advanced payments personalisation; and the shift toward complete financial mobility.

Many innovations focus on bringing consumers into the financial fold

Innovations around this theme attempt to make it easier for un-banked consumers to join the financial mainstream or the undeserved to become more entrenched.

Greater personalisation emerges as a trend in financial services innovations

Payments players have come to realise in recent years that payments are a commodity, so in order to compete they must offer more services with the payment transaction. This trend is now extending to the in-store shopping experience, which is likely to go hand-in-hand with the payment experience.

Full financial mobility emerges as a common thread in many recent fintech innovations

Financial institutions are in the early days of being able to connect with consumers across all aspects of their financial life. Technological advances are allowing for more aspects of financial services to go mobile, and in time will usher in the concept of consumers being able to more readily make in-store payments using these devices.
