Newly expanded into three volumes, this handbook not only emphasizes the financial opportunities made possible by digital banking, such as financial inclusion and impact investing, but it also presents the engineering theories and advances that can create additional opportunities. It provides a collection of contributions by pioneers, academics, and practitioners carefully chosen as established experts in their respective fields. Each chapter reviews, synthesizes, and analyzes the topic at hand, acknowledges areas where there are gaps between theory and practice, and suggests directions for future research when appropriate. The volumes are reorganized into distinct themes, every existing chapter is updated with the latest information, and new chapters bring even more valuable information to readers. This handbook serves as a valuable reference to an international audience that wants to learn not only about their own fields of specialization but also fields related to theirs. It bridges the gap between the practical usability and the academic perspective, written in a language assessable to practitioners and graduate students alike.

Book Description

This book is a practical guide to the evolving landscape of finance, highlighting how it’s changing our relationship with money and how financial technology, together with macroeconomic and societal change, is rewriting the story of how business is done in developing economies. Financial services companies are trying to become more customer focused, but struggling to help huge customer segments, particularly in developing economies. Alternative financial models and tools are emerging, which are being embraced by consumers and incumbents. In large parts of the developing world, alternative services are leapfrogging traditional finance, meaning more and more people have access to finance without ever needing a bank. Meanwhile, the barriers around financial services companies are crumbling, as they become more reliant on integration with new providers and alternative types of service. Financial products can no longer be viewed in isolation, but as part of a service landscape that supports how people do life. This means rethinking how our businesses are designed, motivated and organised, and letting go of the old ways of thinking about supply and demand. With practical steps businesses and, in particular, financial services organisations need to take to participate in a global service ecosystem, this book will be of interest to financial professionals who work in banking, financial technology, and development finance.
