One of the fastest growing industries within the technology sector is financial services.
Also commonly known as FinTech, financial technologies, are disrupting the traditional
financial services.
Especially with the growth and expertise of application development agencies, the
ability to effectively implement mobile payments, money transfers, loans and asset
management easily provides a significant opportunity for financial services.
A recent report showed that the investment in fintech increased from ​$930 million in
2008 to $12 billion in 2015​; a growth that will just continue to exponentially grow in the
upcoming years.
