Fintech empowers retail banking, capital markets and even asset management with sophisticated robots in banks or AI-powered apps for investments. Coupled with the disruptors--including blockchain and cryptocurrencies--other facets such as security and fraud detection, regulatory frameworks, financial analytics, and customer services are also spiraling in terms of progress and adoption. The advancements in AI will focus on cognitive use in the sales, marketing, investments, wealth management and compliance sectors of the financial services industry.Seated atop huge datasets including demographics, econometrics, cash-flow cycles, liquidity needs, and costs of capital, financial institutions can leverage these user-facing technologies powered by analytical engines to gain the much needed competitive edge. Meanwhile, to take advantage of the evolving technologies, financial institutions need to have a holistic view of their position across and beyond IT. CIOs might as well have to take the `leap of faith' with big projects. Organizations must be ready to handle the inevitable `next big disruption' by having the models, architecture, and vision in place to understand and implement emerging technologies without creating chaos. Each financial institution may arrive at success differently, based on the unique proposition of their businesses, the roadmap, regulatory circumstances, and institutional capabilities. In this scenario, curating content for this edition has been a dive into exploring a plethora of service providers, changing market trends and client requirements, and a glimpse into how the future of FinTech would look like. We hope the valuable insights from industry thought-leaders and the innovative solutions from leading as well as emerging companies featured in this edition will help you in making informed decisions for your enterprise.
