The article tries to understand the impact of Covid-19 on using of fintech in Bangladesh by studying the consumer behaviour of urban people. Generally, people are not enough habituated with fintech. But during the time of the covid-19 pandemic and lockdown, they were bound to use various services of fintech. That is why the main objective of this study is to identify and investigate whether covid-19 is a blessing or curse for using fintech, especially in the urban consumers of Bangladesh. The study obtained the opinions of 160 samples from the consumers who are currently using fintech and living in Dhaka city through a survey questionnaire. All data have been collected from primary and secondary sources. The study finds that consumers are using fintech during the time of pandemic more than past and it seems that the changes are a blessing for the use of fintech. Furthermore, Covid-19 helped fintech for its growth, that is why it is high time for the urban people to capitalize on all the benefits of fintech as much as possible to survive and succeed in the new normal life. However, the outcomes of this article are limited by the size of the sample and the robustness of the analysis.
