FINTECH Circle in cooperation with FinTech HK announced the FINTECH Book, the first globally crowd-sourced book to focus on key topics of the FinTech sector. FinTech is booming and raised US$6.8 billion in funding in 2014 globally, a three-fold increase on the previous 12 months. The growing sector also saw its first IPOs and a host of start-ups joining the billion-dollar club. Behind these highlights lies a global FinTech ecosystem connecting entrepreneurs, investors, business leaders, regulators and influencers. For the first time, their insights and knowledge will be recorded in “The FINTECH Book” so as to provide an up-to-date assessment of the global FinTech industry and an outlook on future trends.
