Top Fintech News from Around the Web
Can agencies keep pace with fintech upstarts? — Estimates from KPMG point to $100 billion raised in funding for fintechs in the first half of this year alone. As fintechs flood the market and look for agency support in executing marketing, the cracks are starting to show. Legacy agencies that are used to executing in a more static way are no longer serving the needs of highly agile, flexible fintechs that want their marketing operations to match their product development. This means embracing an iterative, agile approach that many traditional agencies simply cannot support.
Fintech Has Potential as Financial Education Tool — Financial literacy and education is a hot topic right now, especially among younger generations. Where financial tips were once only taught in the home by family members, many fintechs are stepping in and taking on some of that responsibility. The outcomes are positive for all involved; fintechs are connecting with younger customers and younger demographics gain access and exposure to basic financial services and information promoting financial well-being at an earlier age.
PayPal’s Market Cap Is Almost Double Goldman Sachs; Why Wall Street Needs to Pay Attention — If banks weren’t already on high alert, they should be now. PayPal recently surpassed Goldman Sachs in terms of market capitalization. With a market capitalization of nearly $267 billion, PayPal has far exceeded Goldman Sachs market capitalization of about $136 billion. Technological advancements will only continue in financial services — and at a faster pace. Banks resting on their laurels (and legacy systems) should take heed as history proves that technology can quickly render even the biggest industry giants obsolete.
JP Morgan Enables Fintech Firm Even With Real Time Payments — Fintech startup Even is setting a new trend as J.P. Morgan, the U.S. banking powerhouse with a market capitalisation of over $496 billion, enables real time payments (RTP) for it. As a result, Even may be one of the first businesses globally to enable hourly workers across the U.S. to immediately access their earned wages. Previously, this was an option only available to those employed by digital platforms (think: ride-sharing apps). According to Mike Perez, Co-Founder and CEO at Pay Tgthr, “RTP allows a payment to be sent and settled instantaneously. Faster payments allow money to be sent instantly (though settlement might take a little longer). Gig economy companies like Uber, Lyft and DoorDash have implemented faster payment systems to pay drivers immediately following a shift. PayPal already uses RTP for its P2P transfer service. RTP application to B2B payments will fuel the speed of business. Finally, in 2023, the FedNow system will bring RTP to the masses.”
