Nottingham Trent University. Welcome to this talk which is all about FinTech and digital finance and the implications it has for the marketing of financial services. As we will see, the financial services sector has long been a source of innovation and change, but arguably the pace of change and pace of development has increased in the recent past.

Briefly what we will cover in this session. Of course we will have a general introduction, and we will then look at some definitions of FinTech. I will then walk you through a brief history of financial innovation in the sector before focusing in detail on what the main products and services are in the FinTech domain. We need to think carefully about what factors have driven the FinTech revolution and may well continue to do so. Then we will look in particular at the marketing challenges for so called incumbent firms, that's the big banks, investment managers, and insurance companies that have been operating in the sector for some time, and also the marketing challenges and potential solutions for FinTech firms that have entered the sector more recently. We will finish by looking at a case study of Revolut.

As I'm sure you will appreciate technology has long had an important role to play in the financial services sector. We will trace the history of consumer facing technological innovations shortly. More recently, those innovations and disruptive new entrants to the financial sector have combined to bring about a step change in the pace of advancement. Many of you will have witnessed these changes firsthand. You'll have seen adjustments in the manner in which you interact with financial services institutions, be it on your phone, on the computer, or a combination of such interactions. The changes in total have had huge implications for business models, the manner in which consumers consume financial services, and of course, the marketing of financial services also. We will be focusing in particular on FinTech and its implications.
