Course Overview

Fintech (Financial Technology) is a concept that is rooted in technology and finance. It is used as a term that applies to disruption, innovation, and efficiency in the financial sector. This has become possible through the use of technology which helps companies manage their activities in finance. These activities are underpinned by the introduction of distributed ledger technology also known as the Blockchain, Big Data analytics, and data visualization.
