FinTech Business Models

3 credits · Engineering Professional

The goal of this course is for students to understand the business models in the major FinTech value chain segments (businesses include, but are not limited to, marketplace lending, neo-banking, robo-advisory, crypto currency and other blockchain applications). In this course, we analyze the business models of selected FinTech companies with a special focus on the role of data. In some industries, such as banking, data has spurred and supported the new business models of the FinTechs. Therefore, data is most relevant for creating an overview of the actors in the FinTech, and broader financial services, ecosystem.
