So I looked around on Google Earth for FinTech companies with headquarters within commuting range of my current home. I wasn’t actually able to find a FinTech savings solution…and that may be an opportunity.

In New Zealand there is a conglomerate called FintechNZ that encourages and supports startups and IPOs and includes divisions like WealthtechNZ and Insuretech and so on.
There is an online company called Sharsies that is quite successful and trades on the ASX. (Investing)
All banks employ fintech through ATMs and general processing. NZ was the first country in the world to adopt EFTPOS in the 80s. Its a good small population to test case a lot of innovations, like skis for instance. New skis get tested in NZ, if they are any good and popular then they roll them out the next season in North America and Europe.
Insuretech is being rolled out but I don’t know the company.
But savings, loans (and borrowing) have existed electronically for years back home.
But as I read more on it, the technological innovation some people are raving about is shortly about to become obsolete with the advent of Defi.
Unless these companies semi adopt blockchain development I think they will go the way of the Dodo.
So there’s opportunity right there.
