The UAE fintech sector is expected to expand rapidly between 2023 and 2027. Fintech refers to the use of modern technological advancements in financial products and services, with an emphasis on improving and automating the supply and usage of financial services. Fintech can contend with traditional financial techniques in delivering financial services by adopting various technologies such as API, blockchain, AI, and data analytics. These technologies provide customers with integrated and value-added services, and one of the primary drivers projected to boost the expansion of the UAE fintech industry is the increasing amount of alliances between national authorities and financial institutions. Furthermore, the increasing use of advanced fraud detection and risk analytics is likely to boost the desire for fintech firms in the IT sector in the future years.

precision, accelerates the settlement, and reduces risks, all of which contribute to the market’s growth.
