• AI and Machine Learning - Artificial intelligence has transformed financial services in 2024, elevating personalization to new heights. Leading fintech players have harnessed advanced AI to analyze spending habits, forecast future expenses, and deliver customized financial insights. With the AI in fintech market projected to reach $56.9 billion by 2030, businesses embracing these innovations are set to lead the transformation of the financial landscape.
• Revolution of Neobanks - Neobanks continued their meteoric rise innovating banking with their smooth interfaces, low fees, and digital-first approach. These online-only banks have attracted a wide audience seeking convenience, accessibility, and a fresh take on traditional banking services.
