For instance, mobile banking, investing services are parts of financial technology. FinTech uses its new technology to improve customer experience and the quality of financial services. 

There are also some potential risks and problems coming with FinTech.

On the one hand, FinTech business has to face the risk of financial frauds. Nowadays, identity theft has become big business for criminals in the world. Every year, there are numerous cases about identity theft, including driver’s license fraud, debit card or credit card fraud and so on. The use of FinTech requires higher technology protection and customer identification. There is a fraud case at the 1300 block of Virginia Avenue on Feb. 4 at 7:51 a.m. The victim reported numerous unauthorized purchase made with her debit card. For those identity thefts, it’s easy to commit to fraud through financial activities.

Because of more online operation, it is much more difficult for FinTech business to identify its customers. They cannot verify who the person is behind the Internet, and they don’t know if the person’s identity is real as the person says. There would be a huge risk for FinTech business. For example, identity theft can commit to financial fraud and crime, which result in huge financial loss. 

On the other hand, online FinTech also has an influence on the retention rate of online users.

The most important factor is the online account opening process. For customers, they will feel impatient and give up using such a financial service product if the online opening account needs much time.
