Consumer Data Security Concerns Might Hinder The Fintech Market Growth: Concerns regarding security of consumer data is restraining the growth of the Financial Technology (FinTech) market. Fintech companies collect a large quantum of data about their customers, which includes personal information and other financial records. Many fintech companies also collect data on a customer's online spending behavior and social media patterns, to trace their digital footprint. This data collected is used for analysis in domains like marketing, sales, and financial decision-making, such as generating credit score to determine a customer's risk profile. This means a large amount of personal and sensitive data is potentially vulnerable to breaches and can be accessed by malicious entities. Some of the major security issues for companies operating in the fintech market include data loss, data breaches, malware injection, hacking of accounts and abuse of cloud services. For instance, in 2017, hackers breached one of the top fintech companies, Equifax Inc.'s software platform and accessed sensitive personal information of 143 million+ Equifax customers in the United States and Canada. Such instances are resulting in distrust in customers regarding secure handling of private information, thus restraining the growth of the fintech market.
