Fintech in Germany

This comprehensive guide serves to illuminate the rise and development of FinTech in Sweden, with the Internet as the key underlying driver. The multiple case studies examine topics such as: the adoption of online banking in Sweden; the identification and classification of different FinTech categories; process innovation developments within the traditional banking industry; and the Venture Capital (VC) landscape in Sweden, as shown through interviews with VC representatives, mainly from Sweden but also from the US and Germany, as well as offering insight into the companies that are currently operating in the FinTech arena in Sweden.

Advancements in information technology not only changed the way we communicate and process data but particularly paved the way to new business models, markets, networks, services, and players in the financial services industry. Electronic trading, data analytics, and FinTech offerings represent only some of these developments. The FinanceCom workshop series has been providing significant academic research in this area at the intersection of information systems and finance from the beginning and well before the rise of the FinTech concept. Research presented at FinanceCom workshops aims to help academics and practitioners to understand, drive, and exploit the oppor- tunities associated with these information technology-driven developments in the financial sector.
