Financial technology, or Fintech as the buzzword goes, is a hot topic in the international startup industry. Companies launching in this space are usually looking to disrupt banking institutions, the way money is handled, or empowering those without access to cashless payment systems.
In SA, these startups cover a broad range of industries, from Blockchain to Lending, and even Remittance. It’s an industry that has gained phenomenal traction with the likes of PayFast, FinCheck, and BitX making waves in SA.
