Explore the fintech revolution transforming the financial industry and consider the challenges of disruptive financial technology.
The financial industry is rapidly changing thanks to the implementation of new technology. This ExpertTrack allows you to explore the gamut of financial technologies and learn how you can use and adapt them in your career.
Fintech is the emerging financial-service sector of the 21st century. While finance has traditionally been at the forefront of technological innovation, today information technology firms and professionals are leading the way for innovation in financial technology.
You’ll consider innovations in payment technology, explore and critique blockchain, Bitcoin, and cryptocurrency. You’ll also learn how technology and crowdfunding are changing how organizations raise capital and discover how technology is being used for ‘smart’ investing.
How do back-end innovations such as tokenization, mobile money, and new payment infrastructure power digital wallets and mobile wallets? This ExpertTrack will teach you how new payment technologies are changing how consumer-to-business (C2B), consumer-to-consumer (C2C), and business-to-business (B2B) payments work.
If you want to understand Bitcoin, you need to understand blockchain technology – the power behind the world’s most famous cryptocurrency. What are the strengths and weaknesses of using these cryptocurrencies for payment? And how will this new, transformative technology change the world? You’ll uncover the technology that underpins blockchain and review its key concepts, such as decentralization and consensus algorithms.
Tech is changing how consumers and businesses raise capital. You’ll learn about the evolution of crowdfunding, disruptive technology in credit scoring, and raising capital through tokenization. You’ll also decipher how to differentiate between crypto-based capital-raising models to power your knowledge of investments and options for your business.
AI is transforming investment technology and online wealth management. As human-based, data-driven investing strategies are replaced by neural networks, there have never been so many ways to invest and manage your (or your clients’) wealth online. This ExpertTrack will show you how robo-advisors and machine learning work – and why they’re so successful.
