Fintech

Prof. Nitzan Geslevich Packin

This course introduces the evolving field of financial technology (fintech), which integrates innovation and digital tools into traditional and emerging financial services. Sparked in part by the 2008–2010 financial crisis, fintech has revolutionized access to financial services, enabling new market players beyond conventional institutions.

Students will explore core fintech domains—including insurtech, regtech, payments, digital lending, and risk management—as well as the use of technologies such as big data, machine learning, and blockchain. The course will also examine regulatory frameworks shaping fintech ecosystems and their broader impact on financial inclusion and modern banking.
