However, the current intensity of Fintech makes one wonder whether it is a temporary trend that will fizzle out after a while or a revolution for the financial services sector.
When it’s no doubt that the global financial industry, like any other, has been adversely affected by the novel coronavirus pandemic, the East African Fintechs have been on the receiving end, owing to the slower uptake of technology in the financial space.
