Enterprise Guide to Fintech Database Management

The global fintech sector experienced accelerated growth in 2020 due to the pandemic, but 2023 brings funding challenges, slowing momentum, and an uncertain global economic outlook owing to rising interest rates and geopolitical tensions.

In response to this, fintech companies have needed to further optimise costs and pursue mergers and acquisitions for consolidation and integration. Equally, regulatory environments are evolving, with a focus on compliance and tighter rules for certain sectors.

Database management solutions are playing an increasingly important role for fintechs looking to optimise their costs, innovate their product and accelerate their growth hacking amidst the current macroeconomic backdrop.
