The report provides detailed analysis of segments, trends & developments, growth drivers and major restraints and challenges within the industry. It serves as a benchmark for existing players and for new players who wish to capitalize on the market potential and investors who are looking forward to venture into the FinTech market in the US.
UNFOLDING THE KEY GROWTH ASPECTS
US FinTech market has been largely driven by the technological developments such as data analytics, social networks and increased penetration of the smart phones which have led to the emergence of newer models such as marketplace funding, people based marketing and several others. Digital connectivity, faster payment options, lower customer acquisition costs through referrals on the social networks have all contributed to the growth and innovation in the FinTech in the US. Although some suggest that consumers resist robo-advisors, over the past years, the technology has been attracting substantial attention and investments. Financial decision-making is increasingly reliant on algorithms applied to wealth management, personal finance management, investment management, risk assessment and other areas of the financial services industry. The FinTech "uprising" has been reshaping the financial sector by cutting costs and improving the quality of services to the consumer with lower time requirement. The FinTech sector has been evident from a variety of industries ranging from payments to wealth management, Robo-advisors and others. There has been a surfeit of start-ups in recent years. Increased Investments, innovation in technology, digital connectivity, and supportive government are some of the factors among others to spur the growth in the FinTech market in the US. The FinTech market has increased in terms of the transactional value, manifold.
Rapidly advancing robo-advisors allow analysts to look into the future and continuously trade securities and other assets based on long-term predictions they are able to build based on a real-time stream of data and machine learning capabilities. Watsonization, which refers to cognitive computing systems that can interpret massive quantities of data, learn as they go, and will hold an information advantage over today’s analysts are reaching new development levels. They will also give investment firms powerful new tools for interacting with investors, assessing risk, enhancing cyber security and more. The growth and development of the robo-advice industry not only has positive financial implications because of lower fees, but also automated systems facilitated inclusion for mass-market consumers. Those consumers can now afford a tailored advice for better use of their funds. Robo-advice powered by technology diminishes the barriers for market entry to a range of completely new types of players. Both financial and non-financial services firms can take advantage, bringing new levels of competition and innovation to the industry. For instance, we are likely see more asset management and insurance firms adding wealth advice to their distribution and effectively entering wealth management; non-financial service firms with access to large numbers of retail investors and leading-edge technology firms will likely enter wealth management through a robo-advice model.
With the pace of improvement that AI in US markets, machine learning and overall technology goes through, robo-advice has the potential to become highly personalized and specific over time, meeting particular needs of different groups. Algorithms don’t have an affluence towards a particular task like fund allocation; the very idea here is that automated advice can get to the point where it can be tailored to analyse any stream of data by demand and become a highly personalized personal assistant in anything. Recognizing a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity, a range of institutions are already investing in the exploration of big data analytics, machine learning and AI application across industries: in customer acquisition, marketing, customer retention, loyalty programs, risk management, etc. Firms are effectively leveraging these solutions to increase the cross-sell and up sell opportunities, understanding customer requirements and providing customized packaging. Card-linked offers, customized reward solutions are some of the offerings that are being provided by financial technology firms. Robo-advising is not a proprietary breakthrough for investment management; it is a chance for a range of industries to leverage the power of machines in order to jump to the next level of customer service.
Digital payment segment was by far the most revenue-generating segment that saw maximum customer interest and participation. The segment was anchored by the overwhelming sales of e-commerce market in the country. PayPal, Authorize.Net, Stripe and Square were the major payment gateways used by online retail merchants for receiving online payments. Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay and PayPal wallet were the most used mobile wallets by customers for making online and in-store payments in the US. Dwolla, Venmo and Chase QuickPay were the pioneers in the space of money transfer.
Consumer finance market witnessed an exponential growth in the last five years. The mobile payment space has already been highly crowded with a large number of players already in the space. The market will stay crowded as more players enter from social networks to banks to retail chains and other tech companies and the already existing players will implement newer strategies to maintain their standing in the market. Albeit the plethora of players operating in the market, the market is still at its infancy stage, growth prospects are still high. Vanguard Personal Advisor Services, Charles Schwab, Betterment, Wealthfront and Personal Capital were the leading players in Consumer Finance Market. Lending Club, Prosper and SoFi were the major players that actively raised money for customers in the country. The market for business finance was almost entirely driven by business lending companies, which raised funds to start-ups from several industries from both accredited and non-accredited investors. Several business-lending companies have entered in the last five years, which approve funds to applicants within no time. Funding Circle, On Deck, Kabbage, CAN Capital and Lending Club are some of the major companies operating in this space amongst others. FinTech companies allowing crowdfunding started since 2012 and were almost a billion dollar industry by 2015. EquityNet, Fundable, Angel List and Crowdfunder are some of the key companies that have the first mover advantage in this space.

US Financial Technology Market Outlook To 2020: Ken Research

How has the P2P Lending Segment Grown?
The P2P Lending model or the peer to peer lending model has been gaining high popularity in the US especially amongst the borrowers. This is mainly because of its low interest rates, simplified application process, and faster lending decisions. This model is rapidly intensifying to new product categories including mortgages student loans, small business loans and others. P2P Lending platforms seemed to have found a forte by offering it s customers i.e. both borrowers and investors better customer experience and faster. Big data and other such technologies have been helping the technology driven marketplace investors. The investors can look onto the borrower profile and select to which borrower he wants to extend the loan to. Although the market is still in its infant stage, the platform issued around USD ~million in 2015 increasing at a CAGR of ~% from 2010 to 2015. Major players in the market include Lending Club, SoFi, Prosper and others with Lending club leading the market in terms of the loan disbursed followed by SoFi and Prosper as of 2015.

The P2P Lending appeals to underserved millennials to provide them with opportunities for accessing the credit from these sources since there are times when they are not able to do it from the banks. Currently the target population is around 65 million and still growing which provides high growth opportunity for the market in the future. It is expected that the market will move towards high concentration since rising interest rates will put pressure on the refinancing activities and hence smaller player would face troubles attracting borrowers. It is also expected that the wide range of investors would eventually be replaced by higher proportion of large supplies such as institutional investors and banks since they have been drawn to the marketplace by strong unlevered yields and expected credit performance across a large portfolio of loans. The market is expected to grow and reach the levels of USD ~Billion by 2020 in terms of loan disbursed.
What is the Future Outlook of Robo Advisor Market?
During the past few years from 2010 to 2015, the technologies such as the big data, machine learning and others have been attracting considerable investment and attentions. These firms leverage algorithms and client information to develop preset portfolio distribution and suggestions for investments particular to the individual clients. The advisors can be accessed via rich digital user interface and at very low fees. Albeit the high growth of the robo advisors in the investment market, they still are at a very nascent stage with only around ~% of the total invested assets under management. Since the robo advisors use algorithm driven automated investment techniques, they incur less cost and hence are priced lower than the traditional investment advisors. The traditional advisors charge around ~% of the management fee while the robo advisors charge only one third or even a quarter of the fee charged by a traditional investment advisor.
The robo advisors offer higher transparency as compared to the traditional investors and hence attract more investments. The market has grown from USD ~Billion in 2010 to around USD ~Billion in 2015 Major players in the market on the basis of asset under management include Vanguard with a share of ~% followed by Charles Schwab Intelligence Portfolio with ~% share in total assets under management.
Most of the underserved clientele of the financial advisory space have been the people whom either manage their own assets or do not prefer to go to the advisors due to the high fees. Robo advisors have provided advanced advisory services which have made the automated portfolio management accessible, affordable, and amazingly convenient. Moreover, robo advisors offer customized advices according to client’s need and wants anytime they want. They use advance algorithm driven investment software and analytics technique which makes their services more reliable (since there won’t be difference of interests) and cheaper.
How has the Business Lending Segment Performed?
Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered as one of the major drivers of economies and a reckoning force in job creation. They accounted for more than half of the world’s GDP and employ almost two-thirds of the global work force. Small businesses always have a hard time to secure financing as compared to larger established players in any industry. The challenges have grown even more in the recent years amidst the backdrop of global financial crisis of 2007-008 and higher regulations and capital costs for loans.
In the US, bank debt accounted for more than USD ~billion of SME funding, followed by credit card debt of about USD ~billion as of 2015. Small businesses with revenues of more than USD 500,000 per year account for about ~% of all credit revenues of banks. The US FinTech business lending market has grown at an unprecedented pace in the last five years from USD ~million in 2010 to USD ~million in 2015 in terms of loan disbursed. This represented growth at a CAGR of ~% between 2010 and 2015.
The major players in the business lending market include Funding Circle, OnDeck, Kabbage, CAN Capital and others with OnDeck and CAN capital leading the market in terms of loan disbursed. The business lending market has grown at an impressive CAGR of ~% from 2010 to 2015 and is expected to grow further at remarkable rate. In the short term scenario, the market is expected to show a lower rate of growth since past two years have not only been the years of innovation but also startups which mean high growth and newer business models. It is expected that the market will show the correction phase along with the consolidation in the market. However this would act as a much needed pain and the industry will still rise fueled by the increasing number of small businesses, startups and their mounting capital needs, innovation in technologies such as for risk minimization and process streamlining will help the market stay on a growth trajectory. In the longer run, the overall scenario remains positive. The market is expected to reach USD ~Billion by 2020.
