New York – Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report “Global Smart Finance Technologies Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Type, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 – 2028” –
IoT-based ATMs are rapidly being installed at bank sites to provide clients with more convenient financial services. Furthermore, increased technological advancements in IoT linked devices, such as the integration of data analysis tools, are likely to boost market growth throughout the forecast period.
Furthermore, the growing use of next-generation smart ATMs that can be remotely maintained via IoT-connected equipment is fueling the demand for smart finance technology in the banking sector. For example, a Russian bank is preventing ATM fraud by employing Intel RealSense video technology and facial recognition. Moreover, the growing number of ATMs is expected to present a considerable opportunity for the market. According to World Bank data, there were 40.74 ATMs per 100,000 persons worldwide in 2019, increasing to 41.25 ATMs per 100,000 in 2020.
Financial technology is a phrase used to describe the services provided by financial technology organizations. The merger of financial services and information technology is known as financial technology. This integration helps to reshape finance services by making financial activity management simple and smart. Another benefit of this technology is that it enhances the quality of financial services while also lowering overall operational costs, resulting in a more diverse and secure financial landscape.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has had drastic effects on the world. The virus caused the deaths of millions of people around the world and destabilized the economic systems of many countries, it also disrupted supply chains. Manufacturing, hospitality, logistics, healthcare, transportation, and retail were all affected by the coronavirus pandemic; however, IT, telecommunications, government, education, energy, and utilities, as well as banking, insurance, and security services, remained relatively unscathed. The COVID-19 outbreak harmed the smart finance technologies market even more because many bank ATMs were closed during the lockdown. The government-mandated lockdowns all over the world limited the number of new ATMs that could have been installed.
Market Growth Factors
Real-Time Transaction Settlement
Smart contracts are being used by banks to settle the collateral and cash portions of transactions simultaneously. To increase the efficiency and scalability of cross-border sales, transaction processing, securities lending, and equity trades can all be resolved on the blockchain. Meanwhile, using the blockchain to trade securities backed by digital collateral allows for more efficient, transparent, and secure capital management as well as post-transaction equity settlement. Institutional investors are looking for DLT features including tokenization for unlisted companies or private equity funds, spot exchange between established currencies and crypto currencies on digital exchanges, and client custody services like key escrow encryption.
Growing Automation in Financial Services
RPA, or robotic process automation, is the most widely utilized tool for automating fixed and repetitive procedures. Automation, unlike AI, relies on a simple set of rules (If this = then that) to provide predictable results. These pre-programmed procedures can handle digitalization, approval, risk flagging, and more using structured data (incoming data on interest charts) or unstructured data (forms filled out by hand). Many also incorporate learning patterns, allowing them to improve over time as more data is collected. RPAs are used to create reports, log data, automate repeated procedures, and keep track of logs.
Market Restraining Factors
Stringent Government Regulations on Blockchain-related Transactions
Government laws and regulations are critical in monitoring and authorizing large-scale technology adoption, particularly in the financial industry, which has a big consumer base. Since centralized systems have enveloped the financial sector for decades, a rapid transition to decentralized networks using blockchain technology will almost certainly necessitate regulatory compliance. All technology suppliers must adhere to data privacy rules, which vary by country. Some countries, such as China, Australia, and Japan, have rigorous regulatory frameworks for blockchain technology. Regulatory policies are thus expected to stifle global blockchain technology market growth in the coming years.
