1. Expand product offerings tailored to the customers' needs and capabilities and expand into previously untapped markets, both domestically and internationally. Utilize existing platforms, such as cell phones, to reach customers in rural areas.
2. Cement partnerships with traditional banks and financial institutions and penetrate e-commerce and social media platforms by offering money transfers, payments, and financing solutions.
3. R & D to find new ways to incorporate new technologies that enhance the user experience, accurate matching between financial products and users, risk and credit assessments, and product design. The "Phy-Gital" approach, where firms aim to meet the customer physically or digitally wherever convenient to him/her.
The White Paper concludes: "FinTech firms have created products and services that helped millions of people gain access to credit and capital. These firms offer more competitive offerings and more transparent processes than traditional banking institutions. FinTech has the potential to close the finance gap and serve the unbanked and underbanked populations of the world."
