Fintech Trends: Which Are the Most Important Trends in 2025 

The financial sector is undergoing a revolution. Looking ahead to 2025, the fintech ecosystem promises to consolidate technological advances that will transform financial services. At a global and local level, interoperability, Artificial Intelligence and the evolution of business models are paving the way to a more efficient and accessible future.Interoperability has led millions of people to migrate from cash to digital accounts, creating a significant social impact. This change not only facilitates transactions, but also encourages access to credit by generating more complete financial histories.On the other hand, fintech companies that were born as disruptive startups are evolving towards more robust models , acquiring banking licenses to expand their product offering.
