2020 was the year of fintech. As the pandemic swept across the world and heavily affected the traditional commerce that was once heavily dependent on fiat, fintech enabled continuity of commerce, finance and basic transactions. At the height of the pandemic, we saw the rise of cross payments, digital wallets and digital currencies and mobile commerce. It allowed people to pay for goods, pay for utilities and somewhat maintain their media lifestyles.
The integration of fintech have also allowed businesses and independent enterprises to maintain their vital cash flow coming from transactions with customers. As customers were very much open and embraced the means to transact with fintech, businesses followed suit. More and more businesses enabled cashless and online payments in order to adapt to the disruptive climate of the pandemic.
This year, Fintech is still considered a major innovation portfolio for enterprises as the world is moving more and more to cashless transactions.
