  4. Digital-only Banking Digital-only banks provide a number of banking services virtually through apps or websites or both. These services include international remittance, contactless cards with a transaction fee, P2P transfers, and the ability to buy cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Digital-only banks give their customers the advantage of convenience, flexibility, and minimize the need for individuals to visit banks. Contrary to traditional banks, these banks offer innovative services at a much lower rate. Digital banks have gained popularity owing to the pandemic and are expected to experience a further surge in 2021.

  5. Blockchain Blockchain is expected to completely transform the mode of operations of the financial technology industry in 2021. The technology is used to store transaction information of users to its database in a way that transactions can be tracked by any user for maximum transparency. Banking and financial institutions are adapting and integrating the technology into their platforms. As per research by Markets and Markets, the global Fintech blockchain market is expected to reach USD 6,228.2 million by the year 2023 at a CAGR of 75.9%.

  6. Open Banking Open Banking facilitates the secure electronic sharing of financial information. It allows you to save money, pay conveniently, and borrow money with ease through third-party providers (TPPs). Open Banking is one of the revolutionary technologies that bring together FinTech's and banks by facilitating data networking across banking and finance institutions. The Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE) - the body established In the United Kingdom to deliver open banking, claimed in September 2020 that more than 2 million customers are now using products enabled by open banking.

  7. Regulatory Technology Regulatory Technology also called Reg-Tech, is the management of the regulatory processes in the financial industry via technology. The key functions of Reg-Tech include reporting, monitoring, and compliance. Reg-Tech facilitates companies with the power of advanced software that streamlines the compliance process with existing regulations and laws. By utilizing Big Data and Machine Learning technology, Reg-Tech can provide crucial data on money laundering activities and as a result, reduce the risk associated with the company’s compliance department. Furthermore, it can also lessen administrative overhead, guarantee financial stability, and protect customers.

  8. Biometric Security Systems Due to the increasing threat of financial frauds, banks and financial institutions are compelled to strengthen their security architecture. Biometric security systems have emerged as a reliable and fool-proof measure that takes security to the next level at a time when we have banking at our fingertips through mobile financial solutions. It keeps the data of users and institutions safe and protected. The biometric industry is currently transforming and witnessing some major shifts. Bearing in mind the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, biometric sensors that involve physical touch are estimated to decline, while the contactless biometric solutions will overtake the touch-based solutions.

  9. Robotic Process Automation Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a process automation technology that employs digital workers or software robots to automate particular tasks usually done by humans. This Fintech trend in 2021 will enhance and optimize certain finance-related processes. The industry has already adopted RPA for the automation of various back-end processes like customer onboarding, security checks, trial balancing, account maintenance, account closing, mortgage processing, etc.
