What is Introduction to FinTech Training about?

This course is designed to explore FinTech fundamentals and help make sense of this wave of change. New players, such as start-ups and technology firms, challenge traditional financial players, bringing democratisation, inclusion and disruption. Companies engaged in social media, e-commerce, and telecommunications, as well as companies and start-ups with large customer data pools, creative energies, and technical capacities, have brought competition to the existing financial infrastructure and are remaking the industry. 

These transformations have created challenges and unprecedented opportunities, building synergies with new business and regulatory models, particularly in emerging markets and developing countries. To meet these changes, 21st-century professionals and students must be equipped with up-to-date knowledge of the industry and its incredible evolution. This course - designed by HKU with the support of Supercharger and the Centre for Finance, Technology and Education – gives learners the tools to understand the complex interaction of finance, technology, and regulation.
