Abstract
Financial technology (Fintech) has influenced business by helping create better services for consumers and businesses. Fintech, however, brings new challenges for regulators, who struggle to keep pace with the constant evolution of technology and the resulting disruption. The progress of technology and regulations in the Fintech industry has been uneven across developed and developing countries, resulting in numerous opportunities and challenges. Considerable progress has recently been made in the adoption of Fintech and the subsequent development and implementation of regulations in the US, the UK, and India. While the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK) are global leaders in Fintech innovation, India has shown fast-paced growth in adopting and utilizing Fintech services. This paper examines the growth and evolution of Fintech in the US, the UK, and India and also explores how the regulatory agencies across these countries have responded to the evolution of Fintech. This paper finds that economies should work towards improving digital infrastructure, financial inclusion, and financial literacy and enhance the collaboration among regulators, Fintech firms, and other stakeholders.
