The term FinTech, or financial technologies, is a term that started in the mid-90s and evolved into a lot of the innovations around financial products for consumers in the early 2000s.

Over the last five to seven years, it has been explored throughout the rest of financial services, and a lot of other innovations in terms of insurance products, investing products, and the enabling technologies for financial institutions. So, Blockchain, Chatbots, Advanced Analytics, Machine Learning and AI are some of the capabilities that are coming out and helping financial institutions and FinTechs innovate and produce new products and services.
