Fintech is thriving—we help it grow

Mobile fintech has become essential to modern commerce, addressing critical challenges such as fraud prevention, credit scoring, and conversational commerce.

According to a 2024 report by Boston Consulting Group, global fintech revenues have continued to grow at pace, with a 14% increase over the past two years. When excluding crypto- and China-exposed fintechs, this growth rate rises to 21%.

How do we help?

We look for ways to use cutting-edge technologies like AI and ML in fintech to make payments and commerce more convenient and crucially, secure. Our initiative helps identify opportunities, such as the development of advanced fintech apps that meet the needs of businesses and consumers alike. We also highlight and promote the role of mobile payments and APIs in enabling secure and seamless transactions. Crucially, we identify emerging fraud risks and help the industry stay protected against evolving financial threats and scams.

Our expertise helps us focus on solutions that service the wider industry and its customers, such as using mobile network data to combat fraud, improving risk assessment through alternative data sources, and expanding financial inclusion. These are critical for building trust and delivering value across global markets.

Through our Forum, events, and collaborative projects, the GSMA’s Connected Fintech and Commerce community serves as a hub for knowledge-sharing and innovation. Join us and advance mobile fintech and drive meaningful change in the industry.
