FinTech, the application of new technologies in the financial sector, has fostered an unprecedented pace of growth in financial innovation, creating new business models that have been rapidly transforming the financial industry with consumers that are more demanding and challenges to traditional financial service providers, as well as to regulators and supervisors. Actually, if on one hand the financial innovation is a key factor in the development of the market, it can sometimes develop models and solutions not covered by financial regulation and its rules on investor protection and market stability, involving risks to investors but also regulatory or reputational risks to financial companies. In this context, the knowledge of the FinTech phenomenon and of this changing reality in its various aspects and themes is of great relevance for entities and agents that are active in the financial sector.
