The Indian Banking and Financial services industry is undergoing massive changes today with the advent of Digital transformation. Having witnessed a shift from its traditionally competitive nature to a more collaborative one, the FinTECH Industry has been growing significantly in the last few years. The segment is more than welcoming proactive technological transformations owing to the Big Data boom, an increased level of outsourcing and the emergence of Payment Banks as well as FinTECH start-ups.

However, despite these advancements, the growth of the segment is still being challenged by a number of factors such as Competitive pressures, Changes in customer loyalty, stringent regulatory environments and major security concerns with the latter being the primary concern for the most part.

Speaking of challenges faced by the Financial services industry, Krishna Somayaji, Managing Director, elaborates, “While every possible measure is taken to prevent security breaches of all known kind during the implementation of a Technology Solution, it is the operational fraud and it’s handling that is tricky.
