About the Course

In this course, you’ll learn the key components of modern-day investment strategies which utilize fintech. Professors Natasha Sarin and Chris Geczy of the Wharton School have designed this course to help you understand the complex structure of payment methods and financial regulations, so you can determine how fintech plays a role in the future of investing. Through analysis of robo-advising and changing demographic forces, you’ll learn how basic elements of trust underlie complex choice architecture in investments and impact investing. You’ll also explore payment methodologies and how fintech is emerging as an entrepreneurial solution to both investments and payment systems. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to identify different financial technologies, and understand the dynamic between the innovations and regulations, and employ best practices in developing a fintech strategy for yourself or your business. No prerequisites are required for this course, although a basic understanding of credit cards and other payment methods is helpful....

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.

This course is a good introduction. However, it needs another update since the last statistics came from 2019 at least.

Good content, but the course could go into a little more detail. 4 weeks is far too long an estimate for this material.

Very basic and somewhat dated. A fair number of spelling errors in the slides. Not particularly engaging lecturers.

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.

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.

Very poor and high-level of information. Most information could be eligible on internet, consultancy reports, etc. the course doesn't really provide what fintech, blockchain, AI etc.
