Role of fintech gaining importance in financial services

KOLKATA: Acknowledging the growing significance of fintech in delivering financial services, experts from banks, stock exchanges and government officials on Saturday said the role of these technologies are getting stronger.

“Fintech is growing rapidly and the state (West Bengal) also recognises this. We want fintech hub within the financial hub at Rajarhat (in Kolkata). We are also working for creating right manpower to support this,” said State IT & Electronics Secretary Debasish Sen. He also urged upon the fintech community to reach out to the unbanked sector and the last segment of the society to ensure financial inclusion, adding that the progress made in Aadhaar, GST and digital money was unparallel in the world.
