Abstract

In the current global trend, financial organizations strive extensively towards smartening finance to derive the benefits of digitalization. In such an effort, Financial Technology (Fintech) involves usage of several contemporary disruptive technologies such as AI, 5G/6G, Blockchain, Metaverse, IoT, etc., in financial industry to add value to the customer services. By the inception of technology, several major financial services and processes such as lending, verification, fraud detection, quality maintenance, credit scoring, and many more will be simplified and augmented. However, there is a need for research and innovation of disruptive financial products and the enabling ecosystem of technologies. Consequently, several tech-giants have focused their attention on Fintech to introduce Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions. In this manuscript, firstly, we envision the future trends and driving applications of Fintech that would emerge during 2030. Further, we attempt to provide a high-level framework of the enablers of Fintech including IoT, 5G, Digital twins and Metaverse for certain use cases. In addition, we provide directions for future Fintech research while anticipating the challenges ahead.
