Specifically, it explores how generations use mobile banking, mobile transfer, and mobile payment technology. These generations consist of Generation Z, Millennials, Generation X, Baby Boomers, and The Greatest Generation. Generation Z consists of individuals born after 1996. Millennials consist of individuals born from 1981 to 1996. Gen Xers were born from 1965 to 1980. The Baby Boomer generation include individuals born from 1946 to 1964. The Greatest Generation consists of individuals born before 1946 (Pew Research Center, 2019). It also explores the role of financial knowledge plays in adopting and using financial technology. The technologies observed for this study included technologies specializing in mobile banking, mobile transfers, and mobile payments. This study utilized a dataset from the 2018 National Financial Capability Study (NFCS).The results from this study concluded that younger generations are significantly more likely to use and adopt financial technology. Each generation is more likely to use and adopt financial technology than the generation that came before it. This study also concluded that financial knowledge is significant factor in the adoption and usage of financial technology. Individuals with a high level of financial knowledge and confidence were found to be more likely to use and adopt fintech than those with a lower level of financial knowledge and confidence. This study found implications for marketing financial technology to different demographics and found new education services specifically centered around financial technology. This will enable individuals to have more confidence when dealing with new services and will allow more consumers to have access to financial technology.

This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A growing body of evidence suggests that financial literacy plays an important role in financial well-being, and that differences in financial knowledge acquired early in life can explain a significant part of financial and more general well-being in adult life. Financial technology (FinTech) is revolutionizing the financial services industry at an unrivalled pace. Views differ regarding the impact that FinTech is likely to have on personal financial planning, well-being and societal welfare. In an era of mounting student debt, increased (digital) financial inclusion and threats arising from instances of (online) financial fraud, financial education and enlightened financial advising are appropriate policy interventions that enhance financial and overall well-being. Financial Literacy and Responsible Finance in the FinTech Era: Capabilities and Challenges engages in this important academic and policy agenda by presenting a set of seven chapters emanating from four parallel streams of literature related to financial literacy and responsible finance. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of The European Journal of Finance.

Download or read book FinTech Adoption Across Generations written by Bruce I. Carlin and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes how better access to financial information via new technology changes use of consumer credit and affects financial fitness. We exploit the introduction of a smartphone application for personal financial management as a source of exogenous variation. FinTech adoption reduces financial fee payments and penalties, but differs cross-sectionally in the population. After adopting the new technology, Millennials and members of Generation X incur fewer financial fees and penalties, whereas Baby Boomers do not benefit from the technological advance. Millennials and Gen Xers save fees by using their credit cards rather than overdrafts to manage short-term liabilities. Moreover, Millennials shift some of their spending to discretionary entertainment, whereas members of Generation X remain more austere. Finally, while men tend to adopt new technology and access information at a higher rate, the economic impact of access is larger for women.

It has revolutionized the way financial systems operate, disrupting traditional banking and financial services. In this subchapter, we will delve into the intricacies of Fintech, exploring its impact on financial systems and the various niches within this dynamic field. Fintech encompasses a wide range of technologies and innovations that leverage advancements in digital technology to improve financial services. From mobile payments and peer-to-peer lending to robo-advisors and blockchain, Fintech has paved the way for a more efficient, accessible, and inclusive financial ecosystem. One of the key drivers behind the rise of Fintech is the increasing penetration of smartphones and internet access. These technologies have democratized financial services, enabling access to banking and financial products for previously underserved populations. Fintech has empowered individuals and businesses to bypass traditional intermediaries, offering more affordable and convenient services tailored to their needs. Within the Fintech landscape, various niches have emerged, each with its unique characteristics and potential. One such niche is payments and remittances. Fintech companies have developed innovative payment solutions that simplify transactions, reduce costs, and enhance security. Mobile wallets, contactless payments, and digital currencies have transformed the way we pay, making financial transactions faster and more secure. Another niche within Fintech is lending and crowdfunding. Fintech platforms have disrupted traditional lending models by leveraging technology to assess creditworthiness and streamline loan processing. Peer-to-peer lending platforms connect borrowers directly with lenders, eliminating the need for intermediaries. Crowdfunding platforms have also gained popularity, providing individuals and businesses with alternative funding sources. Investment and wealth management represent another significant niche in Fintech. Robo-advisors, powered by algorithms and artificial intelligence, offer low-cost investment solutions, making wealth management accessible to a broader audience. Fintech has also facilitated the emergence of crowdfunding for startups and venture capital through online platforms, democratizing access to investment opportunities. Blockchain technology, most notably associated with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, has revolutionized the way transactions are recorded and verified. Blockchain's decentralized and transparent nature has the potential to disrupt traditional financial systems, offering secure and efficient solutions for various applications beyond cryptocurrencies.
