The banking and financial landscape in the past 5 years have been inundated with ‘techs’. FinTech, InsurTech and RegTech are just some of the new buzzwords each time innovation and disruption are being mentioned.
No Islamic financial institution (IFI) can afford to ignore the march of technology particularly in an environment of thinning margins, low global growth and increasing cost of compliance and doing business. Cheaper, simpler and more efficient financial solutions which do not necessarily require banks or any forms of intermediation are becoming commonplace.
