El fenómeno FinTech: estudio de caso de Revolut.

El fenómeno FinTech se apoya en las novedades tecnológicas para ofrecer servicios y productos financieros más acordes a nuestra sociedad. Las instituciones financieras tradicionales intentan responder a estos nuevos actores mediante la digitalización de su estructura empresarial, sumándose a la regulación cambiante para crear un contexto competitivo y duro. Este ecosistema se apoya en tecnología avanzada y moderna como el Big Data, la inteligencia artificial o el blockchain. Revolut es un ejemplo de start-up FinTech que ha conseguido tener una posición importante en el mercado pese a las múltiples amenazas. Ha logrado anteponerse a competidores, ganando cuota de mercado y sobrepasados peligros derivados de heterogeneidad legal y del continuo avance tecnológico. Sin embargo, debido a un contexto continuamente cambiante, el futuro es incierto y, sin lugar a duda, en un futuro próximo este fenómeno y las dinámicas internas del sector continuarán evolucionando.
