A GLOBAL GUIDE TO FINTECH AND FUTURE PAYMENT TRENDS Peter Goldfinch In his book, payments specialist Peter Goldfinch sheds light on highly topical themes such as the evolution of payment systems from paper instruments to computerisation, their role in enabling commerce to contribute to the development of emerging economies, cryptocurrencies and the slow decline of physical credit and debit cards due to the introduction of alternative forms of payment. A Global Guide to FinTech and Future Payment Trends offers a comprehensive overview of the evolution of payments, looking at the ways they’ll develop in the future and encouraging readers to explore their own predictions. Published earlier this year, the book is an unmissable summer reading for technologists, marketers, executives and investors in the FinTech field, as well as academics teaching business and technology courses. INCLUSIVE FINTECH: BLOCKCHAIN, CRYPTOCURRENCY AND ICO David Lee Kuo Chuen & Linda Low With the uninterrupted growth of the cryptocurrency market and the new class of FinTech companies born out of digital finance, this book illustrates how the underlying technology innovation may be applied to a wide range of industries and explores trends in FinTech, blockchain and token sales. Inclusive FinTech: Blockchain, Cryptocurrency and ICO’s aim is to dispel the numerous misconceptions about cryptocurrencies and blockchain (especially bitcoin, Initial Crypto-Token Offering or ICO), as well as the idea that businesses can be sustainable without a social dimension going forward. It is a book for people who are interested in switching to a more meaningful and sustainable career or for those on the lookout for new business opportunities. The book’s primary hope is to change our mindset and show the potential that digital economy has. 53 www.finance-monthly.com FINANCIAL INNOVATION & FINTECH - TOP 5 FINTECH BOOKS
