FinTech Challenges and Solutions
From limited technological know-how to strict regulatory processes,
FinTech companies are facing a wide variety of challenges that can potentially limit business growth.
High Customer Expectation
Customers expect better services from FinTech companies than traditional financial giants. These customers expect an easy-to-use product despite complicated regulatory requirements. They prefer smarter and more instant customer service. These customer expectations are pushing FinTech companies to set up an agile development process and maintain a fast-paced product rollout.
Rapid Growth but Limited Resources
Most FinTech companies are start-ups with limited resources but need to support fast business growth. Examples include KYC processes, frequent releases for integration with more third-party products, transaction processes, and internal and external reporting requirements. How to choose the right technical platform that can support business growth is a challenge to most CTOs.
High Business Continuity Requirement
Financial business is sensitive to service instability and data inaccuracies. Both regulators and customers require transactions to be processed accurately and quickly with near-zero downtime. FinTech companies must have solid business continuity capabilities, such as running on a reliable, highly available platform to be able to recover from disasters.

This means that the speed of transaction processing, low-latency, and dependable infrastructure are critical for customer satisfaction. The solution provides distributed infrastructure that is scalable and reliable and delivers low latency to meet your customers’ expectations.
