Elaborate and easy to understand the basic concepts in Fintech. Both the instructors are very good and explained in a way which is easy to understand.Looking foward to complete the certification.

Nice introductory course to FinTech. However, I do not recommend the course for learners without prior knowledge on financial instruments as the course may become technical from time-to-time.

The course is well delivered and excellent in gaining a basic understanding. But this course was made around 5-6 years ago. In today's world, The concepts they explain are already in place with newer information coming to light each day which makes this course feel like a Dinosaur. The course needs to be made relevant to today's market. When you say regulation, you should be taking about PSD 1 and PSD 2 and the upcoming PSD 3, Which is related to payments industry regulations and is the ongoing topic. I would love to see an updated information on these videos.

(2024 May) Beginning of the course was good. Weeks 3-4 were not. Professor Sarin is not a good lecturer, in my opinion. And most importantly, this course came out in 2019, and they use studies from 2013-2017. Lots of the companies they mention no longer exist, the bills haven't passed, the regulatory concerns have already been dealt with, etc.

Could be better by including examples of matters really resolved CFPB...rather applauding creation of another incompetent federal bureaucracy. Bill Clinton removed the financial industry laws to make it more risky. Examples of research were irrelevant.

Course was ok. It did not cover recent Fintech information, everything was outdated by at least 5 years during which too many things happened. In that respect, this was somewhat a waste of time.

The course hasn't been updates since 2018 and there is no year when this content was roduced. Its a bit deceptive.

First part of the course by the gentlemen was just reading numbers and stats which was not at all engaging.

Too much focus on the regulatory dimension for a foundational introduction to FinTech.

Bit outdated content; very much US focused and not enough info on "the rest of the world"; especially in the first two modules, tests are on numerical data which are not particularly useful and do not add much perspective/insights.
