Hong Kong’s fintech community, more attractive
The higher acceptance rate for
fintech companies and their services has significantly increased the value of investments in this business field in Hong Kong. A key difference from 2016 is that
banks in Hong Kong turned their attention to
financial technology services and have started to implement fintech solutions. This is beneficial not only for the banks themselves and their clients in Hong Kong but also for fintech start-ups which, in light of a new acceptance rate, have a better client base in the form of banks.
The budget allocated to the fintech sector has also made a difference in the evolution of the business field. Hong Kong’s financial secretary has already stated that in 2018 the city plans on allocating some 500 million HK$ to the development of financial services. The budget is to serve a five-year development plan.
