In the years before the COVID-19 pandemic, fintech adoption was doubling every two years, increasing from 16% in 2015 to 64% in 2019. The meteoric rise was attributed to the growing need for digital transformation in businesses of every shape and size.
Since 2020, fintechs have become even more crucial in keeping companies afloat. With online shopping, contactless payments, and e-banking on the rise due to the ongoing global health crisis, fintech is poised to keep growing and evolving.
“The fintech landscape is almost unrecognizable now compared to even a year ago, and adapting to a quickly changing environment is key to being successful.”
—Oliver Kent-Braham,
Co-Founder and CEO of Marshmallow
