Another issue is the knowledge gap that exists between traditional financial institutions and fintech. This gap can make it difficult for these two groups to collaborate effectively, which can also hinder growth and innovation in the industry.
Lastly, the lack of a globally recognized certification body is a significant challenge facing the industry. Without a standard set of criteria and qualifications, it can be difficult to evaluate talent and assess the quality of financial services.
