From Fintech to Finlife: the case of Fintech Development in China

Long Chen

China Economic Journal, 2016, vol. 9, issue 3, 225-239

Abstract: The purpose of technology is not to make finance better, but to make finance serve real life better. Fintech has grown much faster in China than in the United States. In China, this success has come not from an initial technology advantage, but from integration between finance and real-life needs. This experience has important implications for understanding financial innovations, and for the development of inclusive finance.
