These are currently able to offer products and services in all areas of traditional financial intermediation, often outside the regulatory perimeter. Not only do FinTech companies provide new products and processes, but they also enter the market with new business models and services which respond better to customers’ demands and preferences.

Nevertheless, in contrast to BigTechBigTech, FinTech companies have to collect and gather information and reach critical masses if they are to become formidable competitors.
