Blockchain, instant payments, mobile payments, fintechs, big data analytics, are among some of the latest topics in the digital transformation of the banking sector. Recent studies show that the next step will be intensive use of machine learning to build predictive analyses, understand clients, discover behaviors, and prevent cyberattacks and frauds.

To meet all these challenges, startups pop up every day, directly supported by the innovation departments of large banks, others in the best universities, and some among independent garage innovators, all with the purpose of creating services and changing business models in the banking sector.
