POFTC - Emerging Fintech Technologies
Course Description
Twenty years ago, financial technology was primarily confined to the back-office functions with little innovation. The mainframes that still run much of the data processing were rolled out in the 1960s. ATMs slowly became commonplace in the 70s. The next technical leap wasn’t until the late 90s when online banking slowly began to take hold.
Today, billions of dollars are annually invested in innovation across the spectrum of financial services. This course discusses the emerging technologies that are shaping the landscape. Most importantly, they are placed in the context of what the disruption might mean.
