A Framework for FinTech

Innovations in financial technology (fintech) have the potential to fundamentally change the
financial services industry and the wider economy. While still early in its evolution, fintech can,
for example, promote financial inclusion, expand access to capital for individuals and small
businesses, and more broadly reshape how society interacts with financial services. As fintech
continues to evolve, stakeholders in this ecosystem – including government and the private sector
– must actively participate in its development to ensure growth that maximizes value for the
consumer and for the system in a safe and sustainable manner.
