Fintech and the Future of Finance

Financial technology companies, or “fintech” companies as they are known, operate at the cutting edge of finance, seeking to revolutionize everything from insurance to lending to simple payments. In this comprehensive new book, Feyen, Natarajan, and Saal tease out the myriad implications of these various increasingly digital financial products in great detail, not just for their specific application, but for their intersection with existing policy and market forces as well. An essential text not just for policymakers, but for anyone hoping to better understand the direction of financial services, Fintech and the Future of Finance (World Bank Publications) provides much needed clarity on the future direction of one of the world’s largest and most complex industries, what policymakers and voters will need to understand moving forward, and the radical changes that may soon be upon us.
