Fintech Could Be the Next Move to Disrupt Traditional Financial Services

Innovation and technology have brought about a radical change in traditional methods of doing business. The digital revolution has transformed the traditional aspects of management. From planning to evaluation, every stage is now controlled by AI. Fintech is a technological innovation in financial services.

The two words ‘finance and technology’ can be measured by going into a bank to request your balance and the ability to pull up that information in real-time on your phone.

Moreover, it reduces the span of time for transactions and gives widely positive outcomes by leveraging advanced technology.
