Financial Geography I: Exploring FinTech – Maps and concepts

Abstract: In the first of two reports on FinTech, I review definitions, roots and taxonomies of FinTech, survey studies charting FinTech development, and theoretical approaches to FinTech. Emerging empirical research shows a dynamic growth of FinTech characterized by heterogeneity and diversity. Ecosystems, financial ecologies, and digital platform economies are the most popular approaches to FinTech, and I argue that they can be used fruitfully in combination with more established concepts, such as networks and agglome… Show more

“…Emerging studies indicate that FinTech bolsters established financial centres (Lai and Samers, 2020;Lai, 2020;Hendrikse et al, 2020) and positions them as beneficiaries in the network of FinTech-intermediated financial flows (Langley and Leyshon, 2017). Simultaneously, new FinTech centres arise in cities with a strong technology sector (Findexable, 2020;Wójcik, 2020;Cojoianu et al, 2020). Haberly et al (2019) offer a new typology of financial centres, with emphasis on technical and virtual geographies of finance, sustaining financial back office and data centres.…”
