Abstract

The period since the global financial crisis of 2008 has been characterized by the emergence of a broad set of tech-driven financial companies ( "fintech" companies), acting in parallel with traditional banking services. Although the new players are ramping up competition, pushing digital transformation and exerting pressure on the global financial sector, their services appear to be highly complementary to the ones provided by the more established banks, which are also embracing these technologies.
