The fintech playbook: The great recalibration

Vox Pop Report by Fintech Talents, powered by SAP and SAP Fioneer

In our latest Vox Pop Report “The fintech playbook: The great recalibration” we asked fintech leaders to share their views on how they are facing the future and mapping out their moves over the coming months, including;

• Managing the strategic shift in emphasis from growth to profitability
• How they view the need for efficiency balanced against other objectives
• The role of partnerships in helping to drive value, both for the business and customers
• Juggling between the needs of the present whilst keeping an eye on future opportunities
• Predictions for how this slate of challenges will unfold over the coming year

In this report, we delve into how fintech companies are adapting to a challenging economic environment characterized by rising interest rates, inflation, and investor caution. We emphasize the importance of efficiency, cost-cutting, and strategic agility in navigating these times. Furthermore, we highlight a shift towards sustainable and automated solutions, focusing on profitability and value creation for customers. We also discuss the integration of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals, the importance of data monetization, and the need for fintechs to recalibrate their business models to stay competitive. The report underscores the role of innovation, partnerships, and a focus on customer needs as key drivers for growth and resilience in the evolving financial technology landscape.
