Hey everyone! 
Let’s dive into the exciting world of Fintech! Fintech, or financial technology, refers to the use of technology to improve and automate financial services. It spans a wide range of applications, from mobile banking and digital payments to complex blockchain solutions and robo-advisors. Essentially, fintech companies are revolutionizing how people access and manage money and investments.
Fintech has changed the game in finance, making it more accessible and user-friendly, especially through apps and platforms we use daily like PayPal, Venmo, and even banking apps. 
It’s an industry that combines data science, software engineering, machine learning, and financial analysis—fields we’re already exploring in Mathematics & Computing!
