1. Regulations: if we take into consideration businesses in the UK, the introduction of EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), financial companies need to invest time and resources to comply with the new rules. Bigger companies have entire teams to tackle this issue, however, smaller fintech groups have only a single person at best to bear the burden of these regulations.

2. Cyber security: warding off the curse of cyber-attacks is the major challenge for businesses and governments around the world. This is a serious concern for fintech companies, given the amount of sensitive client data they hold. Money companies devote lots of money and time on cyber security to avoid any kind of attack, especially with the increased frequency and level of sophistication in cyberattacks.

While the road ahead for the global fintech market is long and winding, forward planning and continuous research and development will help companies tackle these issues with ease.
