Fintech has evolved from a niche industry disrupting the staid world of corporate banking into a normal part of everyday finance and personal banking. Starting in the financial crisis of 2007, Fintech has reshaped critical aspects of the modern financial world, from changing the way financial products are bought and sold to using AI to make personal banking as easy as shopping online. The industry has moved from a strong focus on internally developed systems to a vendor-led approach, which has opened up the market to innovators and start-ups who can automate systems and transform customer experiences.

 

This Diploma course in Fintech provides an overview of Fintech as an industry, unpacking the complex world of financial institutions and the varied firms that provide solutions to businesses in the space, which range from hundreds-of-years-old banks to start-ups. The technologies that have enabled this change are covered, along with the structure and practices of typical Fintech companies. While Fintech companies operate in a complex financial and technological world, this course does not require in-depth knowledge of how financial markets work, or indeed an in-depth knowledge of technologies like blockchain and AI. Rather this course describes how those technologies are used to deliver business outcomes and improve customer experience. The content will be presented from a business perspective, covering in detail why Fintech is important and how it is deployed in modern banking.
