Fintech

Fintech’s ability to leverage technology is creating innovative, and often disruptive, solutions to traditional financial services making use of technologies such as AI, blockchain, and cloud computing to offer digital banking and investment management, payment solutions, insurance products, and other financial services to businesses and consumers.

One of the main drivers of growth for the fintech industry is the increasing demand for digital financial services, a trend further fuelled by Covid-19 pandemic and its associated lockdown measures. With the resulting rapid growth of e-commerce and the rise of the digital economy, consumers and businesses are seeking faster, more convenient ways to access and manage their finances, while remaining secure.

Linked to e-commerce, businesses that provide solutions to enable secure transactions, fund transfers, investment, education, tax returns or replicate just about any type of interaction you have in the physical world can also attract very high valuations. Often traditional businesses have built such capabilities to enable scalable trading, with the technology sometimes becoming more valuable than the core business.

What Our Clients Say

“We were delighted with the debt advisory support we received from Polestar. We were looking for flexible banking facilities to support the growth of People Value and Polestar lead the identification of several banking partners and supported us in tailoring the facilities“

Pascal Wittet, Ethos Partners

“I was very pleased with the advice, guidance and support provided by the team. They were very effective at finding the right buyer, and negotiating a successful sale. However, in retrospect it was equally important that they were enjoyable to work with, making the experience considerably less stressful than it potentially could have been.”
