5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know about FinTech in one book !
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2016

The FinTech book is a compilation of visionaries, experts and contributing authors on the FinTech Revolution. It's being called a "revolution" because financial technology will greatly impact the global economy as well as our personal lives. Financial inclusion for example will enable to "unbanked" to become part of the global economy by using their mobile phones or smartphones. "Bitcoin" cryptocurrency will provide an alternative to existing currencies and "Blockchain" (distributed ledger) will make the need for central authorities or clearing houses obsolete and at the same time reduce transactional costs to a fraction of the current systems in place. All these FinTech advancements will lead to a more efficient and transparent financial system around the world to the benefit of consumers, businesses and governments alike. FinTech will displace traditional legacy banking and brokerages with a more advanced system for financial transactions while at the same time reducing a costs and increasing efficiencies. This book covers all the above topics and gives great insights into the disruptive forces of FinTech coming our way.

A must read for everyone interested in their financial future !

This book is a good overview of UK/EU FinTech with a very limited coverage of the US FinTech. It is focused mostly on banking, payments, money transfer and insurance, but it pays very limited attention to the next huge sector to disrupt - wealth management.

3.0 out of 5 stars Breadth of information, but lacking depth
Reviewed in Canada on October 18, 2016
Verified Purchase
Kudos to the authors for their approach to compiling the opinions of FinTech experts. That said, the challenge with this book is that it doesn't follow a methodical thinking of an author due to the fact that every chapter is an opinion of a different individual.

The book claims that it's a holistic guide to understanding FinTech. I would argue that it's not there just yet.

Buyers, if you want to read opinions about different people then this book is a good buy for you.
