Project Overview

Overview: The rapid evolution of technology has significantly transformed the landscape of the banking and financial sector. Financial Technology, commonly known as Fintech, has emerged as a disruptive force that is reshaping traditional banking practices. Fintech encompasses a wide range of innovative technologies and digital solutions that are revolutionizing the way financial services are delivered and consumed. This research project focuses on investigating the impact of Fintech on traditional banking through a comparative analysis, aiming to provide valuable insights into the changing dynamics of the banking industry. Traditional banking institutions have long been the cornerstone of the financial system, providing essential services such as deposits, loans, payments, and investments. However, with the advent of Fintech, these institutions are facing increasing competition from agile and tech-savvy startups that are leveraging technology to offer innovative financial solutions. The disruptive nature of Fintech is challenging traditional banks to adapt and innovate in order to stay relevant in a rapidly changing environment. Through a comparative analysis, this research project seeks to explore the various ways in which Fintech is impacting traditional banking. By examining both the advantages and challenges posed by Fintech, the study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the implications for traditional banking institutions. Key areas of focus include digital banking services, mobile payments, blockchain technology, robo-advisors, and peer-to-peer lending platforms, among others. The comparative analysis will involve evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of traditional banking systems in comparison to Fintech solutions. By examining case studies and industry trends, the research will identify best practices and potential areas for collaboration between traditional banks and Fintech firms. Additionally, the study will assess the regulatory landscape governing Fintech and traditional banking, considering how regulatory frameworks may impact the adoption and integration of Fintech solutions. Overall, this research project aims to provide valuable insights into the transformative impact of Fintech on traditional banking. By conducting a thorough comparative analysis, the study seeks to offer recommendations for traditional banks to embrace innovation and leverage Fintech to enhance their competitiveness and customer experience. Ultimately, the research aims to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on the future of banking in the digital age and the evolving relationship between Fintech and traditional financial institutions.
