Fintech ― The Impact and Influence of Financial Technology on Banking and the Finance Industry

Did you know we're in the middle of a revolution? No, not the post-election fervor. We're in the middle of the FinTech revolution, and it's a big one. Everything that we know about the world of finance is changing before us. Innovation is constantly happening. This book is going to help you get up to speed on all of the change that's happened and the things that are important right now.

This book is going to teach you about several things, including:

• The financial technology sector (FinTech) and its impact on traditional banking, on the global economy, and on the world at large.
• Cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, blockchain technology, and why the two matter. (Pro-tip: They do. A lot.)
• Using robo-advisors to make sound investments.
• Peer-to-peer lending and the art of getting a good loan with a low interest rate without going through a bank.
• Crowdfunding projects to turn your idea into a beautiful reality.
• The state of FinTech and where it's headed.

There are quite a few books out there on the topic, but there's one very simple reason that you should choose this one: I don't treat you like a kid, but I don't treat you like you've got a master's degree either. By the end of this book, I'll have taught you a lot of the important jargon in the world of FinTech, and you'll feel up-to-date and up-to-speed on everything there is to know about the current state of finance.
