About this episode

Fintech is short for financial technology: the tools and systems that make financial services faster, easier and more accessible. Most people already use it daily without thinking of it that way — mobile banking, digital wallets, online payments, money-transfer apps and fraud alerts are all fintech at work.

It isn't limited to individuals. Businesses rely on the same underlying technology for accounts, cards, payments, compliance, fraud prevention and the broader financial infrastructure their operations depend on.

Demivolt sits inside that picture on the business side, helping companies access regulated financial services through modern technology rather than building that infrastructure themselves.
