Unlike other start-up sectors, the FINTECH sector has the potential to create a paradigm shift in the way finance impacts people. Since 2007 many have understood that finance is needed by all but only benefits a select few. Today, the FinTech sector is gradually empowering individuals and communities by providing them with better financial products and services.
The FINTECH Book is therefore dedicating a chapter to the intersection between FINTECH and Social impact. Contributors are welcome to share how their specific solution has had a social impact. This topic is not restricted to the developing world and financial inclusion services but also extends to the developed world (e.g. benefits of P2P in red-tape areas for bank lending).
