FINTECH Circle kick-starts the crowd-sourcing process for global co-authors to develop The PAYTECH Book, the forth of a bestselling series of FinTech books with chapters written by experts from leading fintech/paytech companies.
This includes everyone from startups, to unicorns, financial services, and payment professionals, and investors across the world. Everybody has a chance to contribute to The PAYTECH Book which will be published by WILEY.
The rapidly changing payments ecosystem is influencing the way billions of people deal with money across the world, and The PAYTECH Book is looking to find a diverse range of experts who can bring together a comprehensive guide to both explain the global payment landscape and cutting-edge innovations in detail.
PayTech is restructuring the payments distribution model with use cases for emerging technologies such as conversational commerce and AI chatbots, biometric verification and IoT networks while meeting the growing demand from Generation Z with high expectations of low friction and secure omnichannel payment environments.
Banks and Fintech startups are now able to take advantage of open APIs driving the digital transformation of payment infrastructures becoming faster and more available across borders and devices.
