| |July 20174CIOReviewEditorialVOL 5 · ISSUE 7-3 · JULY 04, 2017Global FinTech funding continues to grow. After it hit $19 billion in total in 2015, worldwide FinTech funding hit $15 billion by mid-August 2016. The U.S., Europe, and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region led the way in attracting the most FinTech investment. Accelerators and incubators set up by legacy players and their tech partners are encouraging this growth, as these programs place FinTech companies on the cutting edge of business ideas, along with a first-mover advantage if they want to invest in or acquire startups. One of the largest trends we are seeing in FinTech is that more traditional experiences will move from offline to online. This does not just stop at consumer-focused projects like commercial banking, but even businesses are taking this change in consumer behavior and using it to their advantage with facilitating equipment leasing through their online portal. Like other industries, 2017 is expected be a big year for mobile-first products that consumers are used to using more often. More importantly, the focus on mobile-first is enabling FinTech companies to become more customer-driven, which equals better experiences for consumers. According to a recent Google study, 82 percent of smartphone users turn to their devices to help them make a product decision. However, hackers are on the constant prowl to steal customer data from financial institutions. Firms keep customer information like social security numbers and background history. In 2017, we will see a significant shift toward personal authentication through services or products. FinTech has given people access to products and services that normally would be out of the public's reach. It has set itself apart from traditional brick and mortar by breaking down high barriers and giving access to the masses.
