Financial Technology (FinTech) is a rapidly growing field in finance where technology enhances and reimagines financial services, resulting in disruptive changes. The most well-known examples are payment systems (PayPal, WeChat, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency), wealth management (Big Data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning) and advisory services (robo-advisers), banking (payday loans and peer-to-peer lending), trading tools (high-frequency trading), and decentralized finance (of which cryptocurrency and blockchain technology form the foundation). Established financial services firms and technology companies both demand talent in this space, as FinTech products are by nature scalable and have potential for huge impact in a financial services business. <br>Co-developed with financial services industry experts, this specialisation introduces students to finance theory, financial products, markets, and institutions, then explores how big data and other technologies allow FinTech start-ups to cause consumers to shift away from traditional finance - fundamentally changing the way money is raised, transferred, stored, loaned, and invested around the world. In addition to a conceptual understanding of finance theory, financial markets, and financial services firms.
