About the Fintech sector
Fintech companies bring software-style growth to financial services, from tap-to-pay networks and online checkout to app-based banks and brokerages. Many earn a small fee on every transaction, so they grow as cash gives way to digital payments.
The sector blends the steady economics of finance with the rapid growth and volatility of technology. Newer fintech names can be especially volatile as investors weigh fast user growth against the path to profitability.
