TechFin, on the other hand, refers to a technology firm that wants to deliver financial products on the basis of existing tech solutions (e.g. Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple). Jack Ma, a co-founder and executive chairman of Alibaba Group, has described the difference between Fintech and TechFin in an interesting way: \u201cThere are two big opportunities in the future financial industry. One is online banking, where all the financial institutions will go online; the other is internet finance, which is purely led by outsiders\u201d. In other words, it really comes down to a matter of how each approaches financial services.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n\n<div id='rpbt-related-gallery-1' class='gallery related-gallery related-galleryid-13524 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='The impact of artificial intelligence on wealth management'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/the-impact-of-artificial-intelligence-on-wealth-management\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/the-impact-of-artificial-intelligence-on-wealth-management-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-13718\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-13718'>\n\t\t\t\tThe impact of artificial intelligence on wealth management\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='BFC FinTech Monitor 27th August \u2013 3rd September'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/bfc-fintech-monitor-27th-august-3rd-september\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/cover-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-15283\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-15283'>\n\t\t\t\tBFC FinTech Monitor 27th August \u2013 3rd September\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Five banking areas most likely to be affected by blockchain'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/five-banking-areas-most-likely-to-be-affected-by-blockchain\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/hero-digital-banking-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-7400\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-7400'>\n\t\t\t\tFive banking areas most likely to be affected by blockchain\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2019, FinTech is not a new concept, with most people having at least some understanding of it.
