This book is a good overview of UK/EU FinTech with a very limited coverage of the US FinTech. It is focused mostly on banking, payments, money transfer and insurance, but it pays very limited attention to the next huge sector to disrupt - wealth management.
The FinTech book is a compilation of visionaries, experts and contributing authors on the FinTech Revolution. It's being called a "revolution" because financial technology will greatly impact the global economy as well as our personal lives. Financial inclusion for example will enable to "unbanked" to become part of the global economy by using their mobile phones or smartphones. "Bitcoin" cryptocurrency will provide an alternative to existing currencies and "Blockchain" (distributed ledger) will make the need for central authorities or clearing houses obsolete and at the same time reduce transactional costs to a fraction of the current systems in place. All these FinTech advancements will lead to a more efficient and transparent financial system around the world to the benefit of consumers, businesses and governments alike. FinTech will displace traditional legacy banking and brokerages with a more advanced system for financial transactions while at the same time reducing a costs and increasing efficiencies. This book covers all the above topics and gives great insights into the disruptive forces of FinTech coming our way.A must read for everyone interested in their financial future !
Great aggregation of writers from consultants, startup founders, fintech hub reps. Most of the commentary is very general but the references allow for a much further deep dive. Great work from the authors .
Excellent book, if you need to understand the next coming disruption technologies in the industry, this is the way to get the initial view about what is going to happen in the next years.
