    Abstract:

    This book examines the Fintech revolution from a data privacy perspective. It analyzes key players on the Fintech market and the developments in various market segments. Particular attention is paid to an empirical analysis of the privacy statements of 505 German Fintech firms and how they were adapted after the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entered into effect in May 2018. The analysis also includes 38 expert interviews with relevant stakeholders from supervisory and regulatory authorities, the financial and Fintech industry, leading consulting firms and consumer protection agencies. By adopting this approach, the book identifies key regulatory needs, offers a valuable asset for practitioners and academics alike, and shares intriguing insights for lawyers, economists and everyone interested in Fintech and data privacy.

  • Fintechs and Data Protection After the Implementation of the GDPR
    FinTech and Data Privacy in Germany, 2019
    Co-Authors: Gregor Dorfleitner, Lars Hornuf
    Abstract:

    This chapter deals with data protection regarding Fintech services and how Fintechs dealt with it after the implementation of the GDPR in May 2018. The primary source of information on how Fintechs are handling data protection is the privacy statements of the respective companies. We analyzed these privacy statements with regard to three questions: What user data are processed? To whom are these data forwarded? And, if applicable, which third parties provide further information?

  • Fintechs and Data Protection
    FinTech and Data Privacy in Germany, 2019
    Co-Authors: Gregor Dorfleitner, Lars Hornuf
    Abstract:

    This chapter deals with data protection regarding Fintech services and how Fintechs dealt with it before the implementation of the GDPR in May 2018. The primary source of information on how Fintechs handled data protection is the privacy statements of the respective companies. We analyze these privacy statements with regard to three questions: What user data were processed? To whom were these data forwarded? And, if applicable, which third parties provided further information? In a second step, we conducted 36 expert interviews regarding the implementation of data protection and raised the question whether banks take a leap of faith with respect to data protection compared with Fintechs.

  • Need For Regulation in the German Fintech Market
    FinTech and Data Privacy in Germany, 2019
    Co-Authors: Gregor Dorfleitner, Lars Hornuf
    Abstract:

    This chapter analyzes the potential need for regulation in the German Fintech market. To this end, theoretical considerations and insights from expert interviews are discussed. Both our theoretical findings and the expert interviews suggest that further regulation of many details around Fintechs is necessary and that this particularly applies to aspects of data protection and data sovereignty, as well as to the need for legislation and supervisory authorities to keep pace with technological developments.

  • Forecasts for the Fintech Market in Germany
    FinTech in Germany, 2017
    Co-Authors: Gregor Dorfleitner, Matthias Schmitt, Lars Hornuf, Martina Weber
    Abstract:

    In order to assess not only the present but also the future importance that Fintech companies will have for the German market, we provide a forecast of the size of the Fintech market for the next 5, 10 and 20 years. Despite the current media presence of the Fintech industry, our empirical study shows that it currently has a small volume relative to the entire financial market. Traditional financial institutions or asset managers today claim the largest market shares in the respective subsegments. However, the current state of the market does not rule out the possibility that the markets addressed by Fintechs are developing rapidly, as has been the case with other disruptive technologies, such as those occurring within the music industry or online hotel bookings.

    Enterprise Applications and Services in the Finance Industry, 2016
    Co-Authors: Liudmila Zavolokina, Mateusz Dolata, Gerhard Schwabe
    Abstract:

    Fintech, the phenomenon which spans over the areas of information technologies and financial innovation, is currently on the rise and is gaining more and more attention from practitioners, investors and researchers. Fintech is broadly discussed by the media, which constitutes its understanding and represents social opinion, however, this perception of Fintech should be supported by empirical evidences. Therefore, we examine five Swiss Fintech companies through the lens of the conceptual framework of understanding of Fintech and its dimensions and, by doing so, analyze the nature of Fintech innovations. Thereby, we extend the understanding of Fintech and provide a fruitful soil for further research in this area.

    Co-Authors: Liudmila Zavolokina, Mateusz Dolata, Gerhard Schwabe
    Abstract:

    The financial industry has been strongly influenced by digitalization in the past few years reflected by the emergence of “Fintech,” which represents the marriage of “finance” and “information technology.” Fintech provides opportunities for the creation of new services and business models and poses challenges to traditional financial service providers. Therefore, Fintech has become a subject of debate among practitioners, investors, and researchers and is highly visible in the popular media. In this study, we unveil the drivers motivating the Fintech phenomenon perceived by the English and German popular press including the subjects discussed in the context of Fintech. This study is the first one to reflect the media perspective on the Fintech phenomenon in the research. In doing so, we extend the growing knowledge on Fintech and contribute to a common understanding in the financial and digital innovation literature. These study contributes to research in the areas of information systems, finance and interdisciplinary social sciences. Moreover, it brings value to practitioners (entrepreneurs, investors, regulators, etc.), who explore the field of Fintech.

  • to Fintech and beyond
    Review of Financial Studies, 2019
    Co-Authors: Itay Goldstein, Wei Jiang, Andrew G Karolyi
    Abstract:

    Fintech is about the introduction of new technologies into the financial sector, and it is now revolutionizing the financial industry. In 2017, when the academic finance community was not actively researching Fintech, the editorial team of the Review of Financial Studies launched a competition to develop research proposals focused on this topic. This special issue is the result. In this introductory article, we describe the recent Fintech phenomenon and the novel editorial protocol employed for this special issue following the Registered Reports format. We discuss what we learned from the submitted proposals about the field of Fintech and which ones we selected to be completed and ultimately come out in this special issue. We also provide several observations to help guide future research in the emerging area of Fintech.

  • international position of the german Fintech market
    2017
    Co-Authors: Gregor Dorfleitner, Matthias Schmitt, Lars Hornuf, Martina Weber
    Abstract:

    A look at the global Fintech markets and the number of newly created Fintech businesses shows that Germany is in fifth place behind the US, the UK, Canada and India (Haddad and Hornuf 2016). However, the study conducted by Haddad and Hornuf (2016) focuses on the European market, since the representativeness of the data regarding Asia provided by CrunchBase is open to question. In terms of the number of newly created Fintech start-ups, Germany boasts the second largest Fintech market in Europe after the UK.
