The way in which the digitization of the finance industry is transforming access to finance for individuals, start-ups, SMEs or social enterprises – for example, through online platforms for crowdfunding, marketplace (peer-to-peer) lending, and third-party payment systems – has already gained prominence and attention. New regulations, changing customer expectations, and rapid advances in technology increasingly put pressures on financial services companies to digitally transform. However, our knowledge of what the digitized forms of finance are, or how they are functioning, substituting or complementing existing financial services, is sparse. There is a growing need, and a call from academics, policymakers, regulators and industry alike, to underpin these shifts with fundamental knowledge. This research theme has faculty experts working with a network of industry players and public sector organizations to address the challenges due to such technological disruption of the financial industry.
