The future of FinTech

As FinTech continues to drive the financial industry’s digital transformation, traditional banks and financial institutions will increasingly adopt FinTech solutions to streamline operations, enhance customer experiences, and reduce costs. 

The rapid development of AI and machine learning will also impact the FinTech world, enabling data-driven decision-making, risk assessment, and personalized financial services.

With its low implementation and testing costs and flexibility to allow businesses to expand their capabilities, an increasing number of traditional banking institutions and FinTechs are turning to the Apache Fineract platform to attain additional functionalities, introduce innovation, and increase their customer base and reach. 

As more businesses introduce Fineract, there is increasing demand to understand how to get started with Apache Fineract open source, bringing in more people in need of guidance and support.

About the Community Over Code Session:

While Cecilia has attended the Community Over Code (previously known as Apachecon) conference in previous years, this year she will be speaking at the conference in her session titled: Empowering Global FinTech Success: Implementing Fineract Across Borders.


In her talk, Cecilia will share, through real-world success stories, the fascinating journey of implementing Fineract across the globe for diverse FinTech clients, including banks, FinTechs of varying sizes, and NGOs. The presentation will cover the challenges that arose, the innovative solutions developed, and the transformative impact of Fineract toward achieving business goals.


The session will shed further light on key lessons learned, best practices, and strategies employed to ensure the seamless adoption and successful integration of Fineract including the inner workings of overcoming regulatory hurdles, adapting to diverse financial ecosystems, navigating cultural nuances, and addressing scalability concerns, as well as deep diving into the intricate details of global implementation projects.


Attendees will gain valuable insights into the technical intricacies of deploying Fineract, customizing it to meet specific client requirements, and leveraging its advanced capabilities to push the boundaries of innovation.


By the end of the session, participants will hopefully leave inspired by the customer success stories and having gained practical knowledge and strategies to overcome implementation challenges when deploying Fineract on a global scale.
