Key highlights of the publication
- The Indian financial services sector has been getting increasingly digitalised and this movement is leading to increased efficiency within the system, better reach of the financial services to citizens of the country, reduced cost of access, time saving, and improved customer service, which in turn is leading to greater financial inclusion. At the forefront of this digital revolution have been the fintechs, which have leveraged technology to digitise FS products and delivery channels. These developments have blurred industry boundaries within the FS space and new business models are being developed due to economies of scope available to the fintechs.

- Fintechs are working on creating Self-Regulatory Organisations (SROs) for their respective area of operation and are creating a model code of conduct (CoC). It will be critical that fintechs adopt an appropriate CoC and deliver on those consistently to ensure their market conduct is as per the expectation of the regulators.
- The sectoral regulators, off late, have been vocal about their expectations from the fintechs and have stated publicly that while they support innovations brought about by the fintechs, they are also concerned with the new risks that these innovations and business models are introducing in the financial services industry.
