Data is a critical part of the journey forward and a further shift to optimizing capabilities that lead to more services moving to the cloud which results in changes in the overall infrastructure.
And as this change occurs, it gives businesses the opportunity to investigate and look beyond traditional architecture—and this is where fintech comes in.

The Evolution of Fintech in 2023: In Conversation with RFI Global
Monday Feb 06, 2023
Monday Feb 06, 2023
A recent survey from RFI Global shows that consumer trust remains relatively low in the new digital led banks and fintechs compared to those of traditional banks.
Fledgling companies traditionally find these brand trust issues as they go to market, and fight for market share and consumer awareness…
But in the case of fintech this is an ongoing pattern that’s been lasting for several years.

Fintech is already delivering significant benefits to consumers and investors by providing financial stability and financial inclusion via financial services firms and financial market infrastructure.
However, the ever-increasing use of fintech solutions and emerging technologies also brings risks, to which regulators and supervisors are responding.
Rocio Suarez Gray, Lexis Nexis Risk Solutions, had this to say in our recent podcast looking at how fintech will evolve in 2023
“With all the evolving regulation and all the new legislation coming into place, it’s vital that you have the systems and processes in place to support day-to-day operations and your growth agenda. Have a proactive approach to compliance and be ready before any event occurs.”

Standardization of Processes and Protocols will lead to further innovation in the cloud.
There has been a gradual evolution of the tech stack over the past 15 years. I believe there will be further standardization across the industry as companies & bodies - such as the EDM council, ISLA and parties collaborating on the common data model, taxonomy for instruments and Swift - move to the cloud.
What is interesting is that they are moving in a manner that encourages adoption of standards.
This alone is usually the driver for future innovation and will further help cloud standardization.

“I can see there being a critical mass driver which will lead to either mergers or partnerships, which will be beneficial for the ultimate consumer but it’s going to be born out of necessity. On top of this, the next evolution will come down to who’s got the strength of idea or the balance sheet that’s capable to bring those other partners together and the idea to the market.” Chris Kenning

What should you be looking out for in 2023?
I recently sat down with Ned Philips to discuss the opportunities in fintech in 2023
And this is what he had to say:
"Improve operational efficiencies, to drive profitable growth. Focus on profits. That’s one of our core focuses at Bambu. Profits is a word that was lost, We got used to cheering every startup for raising money.
And if I can put out an unpopular view, you’re getting cheered on for not being profitable. It’s madness, right? Now, of course, the VC route to growth happens when people are willing to invest when capital is available.
So I believe what to look out for next year is, for those fintechs that are profitable and for fintechs that have partnered with corporates to have a great impact on the ecosystem. And if you want to speculate on the emerging ecosystems, then be aware of both the upside and downside; but no doubt there will be a few diamonds emerging from this build phase in the years to come.

There were many headlines in 2022 and Buy- Now-Pay-Later (BNPL) definitely made it to the top of the pile earlier in the year with BNPL provider Klarna’s valuations being slashed by a whopping 85%, which was a reflection of market sentiment surrounding BNPL lenders at the time.
But as we enter a new year, what are the challenges facing BNPL lenders and are there green shoots of optimism that the market will flourish again?
I recently had a conversation with Corrine Lleti, EMEA Sales Director, at Provenir to gain insights into where next for BNPL.
