Service segment insights
The various services provided in the fintech sector are regtech, payment/billing, insurtech, money transfer/remittance, mortgage/real estate, and others (lending, capital market, and wealth management). Among these segments, the payment/billing services will be the major growth driver in the global market, leading to a revenue generation of USD 207.11 Bn by 2023.
