About the Course

In this course, you’ll learn the key components of modern-day investment strategies which utilize fintech. Professors Natasha Sarin and Chris Geczy of the Wharton School have designed this course to help you understand the complex structure of payment methods and financial regulations, so you can determine how fintech plays a role in the future of investing. Through analysis of robo-advising and changing demographic forces, you’ll learn how basic elements of trust underlie complex choice architecture in investments and impact investing. You’ll also explore payment methodologies and how fintech is emerging as an entrepreneurial solution to both investments and payment systems. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to identify different financial technologies, and understand the dynamic between the innovations and regulations, and employ best practices in developing a fintech strategy for yourself or your business. No prerequisites are required for this course, although a basic understanding of credit cards and other payment methods is helpful....

Elaborate and easy to understand the basic concepts in Fintech. Both the instructors are very good and explained in a way which is easy to understand.

Looking foward to complete the certification.

Nice introductory course to FinTech. However, I do not recommend the course for learners without prior knowledge on financial instruments as the course may become technical from time-to-time.

I really enjoyed all the videos. As an approach to Fintech, I really would appreciated if you could provide some additional supporting material (such as online articles or books).

Great course as an introduction to the why of Fintech and its implications

Most of the references and charts are 3 - 4 yeard old. So they would need to be updated if available.

The course is well structured and well illustrated by the two professors. However, I would appreciate more case studies to have a deeper understanding of abstract concepts.

Buen programa para introducir fintech a personas que no tienen mucho conocimiento en el area. Le hace falta un poco de profundidas a los temas tocados en el curso

Week1 content should be revamped. Its like walking through a research report and quiz was like mugging those #s.

Week 3 and Week4 course content was awesome.

The regulatory piece was informative generally, but should give more specific examples of regulations of how current FinTech products are being regulated.

First two weeks were great! I am curious why the lady on the videos for the the last 2 weeks felt the need to mention Elizabeth Warren so many times...

Pretty good course on FinTech. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Though, some of the information provided in the course is now dated and needs to be updated.

Great course for a foundation. It may need to add more materials on the type of fintech instead of discussing the credit card technology too much.

Very good the part related with Regulation and Fintech. The initial week gave the context but was probably superficial, for a learning standpoint

Decently informative on the basics of FinTech, the origins, issues, and the tech behind making it run while creating regulation on the fly.

The information was really interesting and valuable but the presentation was a bit stilted and would have benefited from simplification.

It was an insightful course. However, I'd like to see more case studies across other African countries and not just Europe alone.

First 2 weeks were quite data heavy - can be curbed on that point. Rest all is OK for a beginner to get an overview of fin-tech.

Great and full of learning, the only issue is that the course is from 2019 and Fintech has changed a lot since then.
