This final chapter opens the reflection as to where the FINTECH sector is going.
- Will the financial sector be fully disrupted?
- To what extent will fiat currencies used as mobile payments become an increasingly viable solution.
- How will FINTECH impact Financial inclusion?
- What new business model will emerge from the use of personal data?
- Will Bitcoin be going mainstream, will it become a standard payment method and how will the crypto-currency eco-system evolve overall?
- Will 2016 be the year of the block-chain technology and emerge in areas of finance that have not yet been discussed?
- What will be the sectors within FinTech that will drive the bulk of the billion-dollar investments made?
- How will the FINTECH sector incorporate developments happening in respect to wearable devices (ie smart watch banking) and the Internet of Things?
The above offers a sample of the topics that can be covered in this chapter. We leave to our authors the full possibility of shaping their submission and scoping out what the future holds.
