Government schemes, customers’ expectations, cashless economy, digitalization, globalization, innovation, etc. are some of the determinants due to which Fintech has emerged as one of the most investment attractive destinations. Traditional financial institutions are partnering with the Fintech firms in order to survive as well as to compete.
