IT Voice:-Payment Gateway: Culture of start-ups in digital payment/fintech space
Mr Sunil Khosla:-The relationship between fintech players is more collaborative than competitive. Fintech companies often work together towards the larger goal of financial inclusion by facilitating technology access and offering convenience while reducing overall cost of delivery of services.
We live in an era of Open Banking and Application Programming Interface (API) which has made it possible for forerunners in the digital payments industry to provide more valuable, consumer focused experience. In today’s world, an increased level of collaboration between banks, merchants and digital payment providers is possible. Innovative use cases and new profit pools will open up as the players in this ecosystem collaborate with each other.With increased focus on data analytics and customer insights that are data driven, fintech companies collaborate to deliver solutions through an open architecture framework.
Digital payment/fintech industry is at an advantage since it can incorporate best practices from both financial services and technology sectors. Characterized by dynamism, fintech companies offer remarkable rewards to employees and special perks in the form of work-life integration, rewarding risk-taking abilities and promoting innovative thinking. Emphasis on engagement with people is high since good customer relationships foster better business outcomes.
