The Impact on the Financial Sector

It’s understood that the financial sector is the most data-intensive sector in the world. Banks have a huge flood of customer data flowing through their systems every second, but unfortunately, this data is underutilized. Adding to this, with the changing dynamics of the fintech sector, banks and other financial institutions are lacking in meeting customer’s changing expectations. Moreover, an increase in frauds are also adding to the risk factor faced by the traditional technological setup in the banking and financial sector.
