In 2019, it is expected to become even more prominent in a number of ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RegTech<\/strong> \u2013 compliance, complexity, cost and bureaucratic processes have always stifled the development of the finance industry. But the development of RegTech (regulation technology) is benefitting from the move from Big Data to Smart Data. This, coupled with new technologies like artificial intelligence, allows financial institutions to more easily and quickly comply with regulations and internal policies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Artificial intelligence<\/strong> \u2013 bankers used to have personal connections with customers, but digitization has caused this process to become almost arcane. Artificial intelligence (AI) is looking to change that, albeit in a slightly different way. AI-driven platforms are becoming more \u201chuman\u201d than ever before. With the ability to instantly access and analyze millions of data points, it could be used to bring back the idea of personal connections, just via a machine instead of a person.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blockchain<\/strong> \u2013 blockchain has enormous potential, and several financial institutions are planning significant investments in it. It could be used to streamline and, perhaps more importantly, secure most aspects of the financial industry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Financial inclusion<\/strong> \u2013 the very idea of FinTech revolves around facilitating faster, easier access to financial systems. FinTech developments the world over promise to open up financial services to millions who were previously unserved or underserved by traditional financial service providers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>FinTech represents the second-most significant transformation in the history of finance (the first being banknotes). It is set to completely reshape the way we think and live. What\u2019s more interesting is that we are just at the beginning of the FinTech ride.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n\n<div id='rpbt-related-gallery-1' class='gallery related-gallery related-galleryid-12131 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Big data could provide the solution to cyber-attacks'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/big-data-could-provide-the-solution-to-cyber-attacks\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/big-data-could-provide-the-solution-to-cyber-attacks-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-11214\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-11214'>\n\t\t\t\tBig data could provide the solution to cyber-attacks\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Denmark to use a cryptocurrency to help developing countries'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/denmark-to-use-a-cryptocurrency-to-help-developing-countries\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/denmark-to-use-a-cryptocurrency-to-help-developing-countries-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-10826\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-10826'>\n\t\t\t\tDenmark to use a cryptocurrency to help developing countries\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Revolut plans invasion of the Russian market'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/revolut-plans-invasion-of-the-russian-market\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/revolut-plans-invasion-of-the-russian-market-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-12283\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-12283'>\n\t\t\t\tRevolut plans invasion of the Russian market\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FinTech has taken center stage in the financial world.
