The future of FinTech
FinTech is easy to define: any technology that seeks to improve, enable and/or automate the delivery and use of financial services. But the precise origin of this portmanteau word is hard to pinpoint: Wells Fargo became the first bank to offer online accounts in 1995, PayPal launched in 1999, and Zopa became the world’s first peer-to-peer lending company in 2005 – regularly cited as a pivotal FinTech event.
