Recommendations5

47.
Recommendations
Incentivise
The government should
devise programs and set
incentive schemes to
welcome Fintech startups
to consider the country as
their playground.
Regulatory Environment
Regulations need to be
relaxed to allow ease of
entry of these foreign
Fintech firms into the
country.
Education is key
The educational system of
the country needs to be
revamped to highlight the
importance and the impact
of digitization and
globalization.
FinTech – not a threat
The Fintech sector should
be viewed not as a threat,
but instead as an
opportunity for growth for
the Banking industry.
Cross the Chasm
Identify weak points and
work quickly to address
them especially that the
“cash is king” mindset is
still very much prevalent in
developing countries.
Millenials
The Fintech sector should
capitalize on the millenials
as their target market since
they are the digital natives.
