This specialization is intended to familiarize learners with a broad range of financial technologies. While finance has always been at the forefront of technological innovation, the financial industry is changing rapidly in the face of new technology. In the past, at the forefront of innovation in finance were central governments and financial institutions. Today, information technology firms and professionals are leading innovation in the financial industry. Our goal is to show learners the genesis and use cases of the technology. We hope to familiarize professionals sufficiently with the technology that they can utilize and adapt the technologies in their careers.

Prefer prof. Andrew Wu over the other professor as the latter's teaching was very dry ma difficult to grasp.
OD
Learned a lot of finance. Would love to had seen a deeper study of fintechs in the field, just like with the other courses.

The course gives a good introduction to the whole Fintech space. I love how Prof. Andrew breaks it all down to the fundamentals and teaches it like a story of how each of the innovations came about.
KG
The course content is good but a bit too slow and the instructor could have used some more tools rather than just him speaking into the camera though he managed to grab our attention most times.

Lovely course. An introductory course in Fintech presented with such lucidity that the concepts are easy to grasp. I particularly love the integration of the technology aspects with the business model of each particular innovation.
It was very easy to understand and related to my studies .the most interesting part of the course is the case reading and end of module quiz. Thanks a lot for university of Michigan and professors
I like this course very much. Very good explanations, thanks a lot to Wu. You could get a very good knowledge and understanding about contemprorary payment technologies like alipay, paypal and Mpesa for example. Explanations is very clear. I think this is the one of the best courses that I`ve seen on Coursera until now. Thanks!!!
The course is very nicely paced, very innovative. Topics covered all in-depth and everything about the innovation is explained, Why it happened, Who did it, What are benefits to firm and people, History of services before the innovations.
All examples covered are truly inspirational.
I am delighted . The course has just dived me into the core of what i exactly want to understand. I am looking forward for courses regarding CC processing, coded transactions and trusted traffic.
Great course! It gives a very good overview of the different payment systems, how it works, and its pros and cons. The quizzes are really good. I am thankful to the lecturer and the university!
This course is the best course I have ever taken. If you have no idea about what is FinTech, you should take this course, which will give you a comprehensive overview.
Great course. A lot of information that happens in payment technologies that I never realized. Well presented and a fun and informative course to take.
Great content for beginners in the financial technology area. Its a great way to get the basics of business models in the Fintech industry.
Really good overview of the FinTech environment. Great pacing and effective examples by the professor.
This course has helped me understand some intricacies about Paytech and how the Fintech Ecosystem thrives on a symbiotic relationship(a mutually Beneficial one at that) with already established financial institutions such as Deposit Money Banks(DMBs) and Investment Houses... It also explains the roles of each stakeholder of the Automated Clearing House in detail with clear illustrations. You would learn something new for sure.
Was a short and interesting course that talked about Fintech, the business and process model of credit card and mobile wallet systems, account clearinghouses, etc. There were 2 interesting Fintech innovations that the instructor talked about - the M-Pesa in Kenya and the Unified Payment Interface in India. The slides were crisp and elegant, the information clearly presented and the business models explained from all angles.
It is very great course for novice to understand all the key players and interactions among those players of Fintech Payment Technologies. You will also get to know gist of the other global innovations in payment technologies from developing countries. Great start. Would recommend to anyone interested in getting gist of the overall Fintech payment industry...
Good Day
I sincerely thank you for this opportunity .
Thanks and Warm Regards.

la forma fue muy clara mucha de la informacion ya la manejaba , tal vez solo se me dificulto el idioma pero me parecio bastante completo el curso quisiera seguir aprendiendo de grandes maestros y tambien muchas gracias a coursera por esta oportunidad de adquirir el conocimiento de esta forma.
Good high-level overview of the transaction/account fundamentals you need to understand if you want to work in fintech. This is the foundation you need to understand how Venmo/Paypal, blockchain companies, and others are disrupting and building off-of the traditional banking infrastructure.
I liked the course as it has a good balance of theory and application to the business. Fundamentals are covered very well, specifically the journey of fintech and how it has evolved over the years. I found the course ful and it met the learning objectives that I has set out for this course.
The course explains the base of the current payment processes across the globe. Many of the concepts have been beautifully explained, what makes it more effective is explanation of cost and revenue model for each of the technology. The construct of the course is done brilliantly.
I totally recommend it. It is a very complete course on topics of introduction to financial technology. It provides clear examples that allow understanding the complexity of some particular topics. Overall, I loved it and it helped to amplify my knowledge of disruptive finance.
The course is Excellent. It helped me reach my career goals and develop insights and in depth knowledge of how things take place at backend in financial institutions and banks . Thank you University Of Michigan and Coursera to provide me opportunity reach my career goals
