Kawai (2016), General Secretary of the International Association of Insurance Supervisors, a member organization of the Financial Stability Board, offers a working definition of “FinTech” as follows: it is a “technologically enabled financial innovation. It is giving rise to new business models, applications, processes and products. These could have a material effect on financial markets and institutions and the provision of financial services.”
