Thanks for checking out this video. So, what is FinTech? You hear this words
[4]
FinTech being thrown around all over the place.
[16]
FinTech can mean a lot of things nowadays. FinTech probably a few years
[21]
ago was just so focused on business lending and lenders utilizing technology
[26]
in order to provide financial services. FinTech really started in this business
[30]
lending space where a lot of business lenders started using, utilizing
[36]
technology to provide business loans. But FinTech has just become so much broader
[40]
now. It's really short for financial technology. Yeah, what does that mean? Well,
[45]
it basically is any company now utilizing technology to offer their
[52]
product and service in a very simple and streamlined way. So now, you can get a
[57]
mortgage online. You can get a student loan online. You get your car insurance
[62]
very quickly online. You get a business loan online. You get a personal loan
[66]
online. And there's been so many companies now that have created a much
[70]
more efficient simple and easy way to get a number of these financing products
[76]
that really just have changed the game in the financing world. And it used to
[80]
just be... You know, the only place you can go to get any type of financing was a
[82]
bank. And that really is... That's changed a lot. Now it's a lot easier to not go to a
[88]
bank and to get your mortgage or a personal loan or a car loan or your
[92]
insurance. Even retirement and investing. You know, you can do with these
[98]
online platforms now that are more efficient easier and even less expensive.
[102]
So, it's really wild. You know, back when I started my company --National Business
[107]
Capital And Services, it was back in 2007. We're like one of the originators in the
[112]
FinTech space. You know, we are building out a simple and easy way for business
[117]
owners to apply and get financing and we created a platform that now is over 75
[122]
lenders. And we provided 1 billion dollars in financing to small business
[126]
owners all across the country. You know, we started building all this out back in
[130]
2007. There wasn't even the name FinTech. So, I'm like a
[134]
dinosaur in the FinTech space. Which is kind of crazy to say because I'm
[138]
technically still young. So, FinTech has become a real broad word. There's FinTech
[142]
in a lot of different industries today but it's really any financial services
[147]
company that's utilizing technology to really just provide an awesome and
[151]
simple, fast and efficient process to provide their financial product or
[156]
service, You know, what you really can be excited about with FinTech is
[161]
this new FinTech movement has really gotten companies to innovate and make
[165]
their processes faster and easier. So, it's really just made it convenient for
[170]
all of us to do a number of different things that we have to do in our lives.
[173]
Again, as I mentioned earlier. To get a mortgage, a car loan, car insurance. We're
[179]
able to do all these things. Business financing, we're able to do all these
[183]
things online now. Very quickly faster than ever before.
[186]
So, FinTech is really just providing massive amounts of convenience and what
[191]
I think is really great is it's woken banks up who didn't want to change for a
[195]
number of years and has gotten them to actually be innovative and provide more
[200]
convenience. Because up until a few years ago is very inconvenient working with
[204]
banks and there is nowhere else to go. So, why innovate and why spend the money?
[207]
FinTech has really started to change the game for a way a lot of people
[212]
do business in the financial services arena. Yes, I guess if you're looking for
[216]
any type of financial services or product, whether it be alone
[221]
or service. You know, make sure the company that you're working with is up
[225]
to date with their technology. So, you can have the most convenient and easy
[230]
process that's available. FinTech is also even going further now. I guess
[234]
you'd even call this blockchain and cryptocurrency is really a part of the
[238]
whole new FinTech movement. And I think in these next years to come, FinTech is
[243]
just going to continue to change the game and the way we do things in
[247]
business and in our personal lives. And it's really going to be awhile to see
[250]
what comes out next. Technology is really just changing all of our... It's changing
[255]
all of our businesses and our lives the way that we do things. And I'm super
[259]
excited to see where everything goes. So, if you're in need of a business
[263]
