What is Fintech?


Fintech/Financial Technology, refers to the combination of new technology systems and the traditional financial sectors operating methods. It incorporates the delivery and design of financial services that are accessed via online technologies.

Fintech has grown rapidly, not just in the UK, but globally and has opened up a wide variety of quick and agile services to both businesses and consumers. UK based financial technology firms, such as RLA Capital, expect over 80% growth during the three years and the UK's fintech sector is currently contributing as much as £6.6bn to the country's economy.


Why has Fintech had such a large impact and rapid growth?



Fintech has allowed companies to provide quick and flexible services and facilities to customers. Due to the flexibility offered by Fintech systems, clients can take advantage of reduced costs, increased transparency and most importantly it has increased usability and accessibility of services.
It has improved ways in which you can access services, remain reactive to market conditions, communicate and transport money via a wide range of methods.
