Key Takeaway

The interest in fintech is still scaling, but not without its challenges. There’s been a shift in the industry following the requirements and expectations from investors, which has led to a decrease in scaling and a higher focus on profitability. We do however see that this space has really matured, and there’s a much greater sense of collaboration between new and smaller fintechs and traditional financial institutions, and also going beyond just the financial segment.  

This has left the fintech industry is looking to find new ways to build, collaborate, and innovate in order to stay competitive. It’s definitely going to be some interesting times ahead!
