Abstract
Data analytics has a powerful role to play in helping the global fintech industry of ~$200 billion grow exponentially over the next decade. Application areas for data science and analytics range from real-time payment processing to credit scoring algorithms to microloans to financial content aggregators to investment robo-advisory.
Analytics can help drive key business areas such as: a) customer acquisition; b) credit decisioning; c) monitoring and collections; d) personalization of services for customers; e) improved risk management; f) fraud detection; and g) cost savings. Specifically, it can help fintech firms manage their entire customer lifecycle of acquisition, engagement and retention better.
FinTech companies that use big data-led insights for their segmentation strategies can also customize their product and service offerings for different customer cohorts. They can collect and decipher information about their customerโs financial activities, identify problems, target anomalies, and come up with relevant solutions.
Therefore, in the fintech industry, data analytics is not just a buzzword but a catalyst for transformative change. And to foster a conducive environment, it is imperative that companies and practitioners understand its power and leverage it to further accelerate business growth.
