4 Fintech Trends to Watch For in 2020
The fintech industry is one of the most visibly disruptive sectors since it can dramatically impact everyday consumers as well as the business of all sizes. It’s also potentially a highly regulated sector, with governments and regulators well aware of the need to both protect consumers and businesses, and to provide a fair, competitive environment for industry players. At the same time, governments don’t always agree on how exactly to regulate this rapidly changing industry. Coupled with intense competition from traditional, established banks and financial services providers, along with constant technological developments, this makes for a volatile, exciting sector to watch.

10 assertions from TransUnion study on Canadian fintech borrowers
TORONTO – Fintech isn’t limited just to Silicon Valley. TransUnion spotted fintech developments leaving impacts in the Oil Patch, MTA and Vancouver, too. A new study released this week by TransUnion explored the evolving trends around the fintech lender landscape in Canada, which can have an impact on how consumers secure auto financing and manage their other credit commitments. The research study analyzed more than 21 million non-mortgage credit products originated in Canada from Q1 2017 to Q2 2018. TransUnion said its study findings revealed key insights that appear to debunk commonly held beliefs around the profile of fintech borrowers in Canada, as well as the ways that fintech lenders are employing and embracing different credit strategies compared to some of the more traditional lenders.

Operator of Fraudulent Debt Collection Scheme Settles With FTC, New York
The operator of a debt collection scheme has settled claims by the Federal Trade Commission and New York Attorney General that he and the companies he controlled lied to consumers about how much debt they owed and used illegal scare tactics to collect it. Under the settlement, Robert Heidenreich, who ran the scheme from the Buffalo, N.Y. area, is permanently banned from the debt collection business and prohibited from misleading consumers about any financial products. The FTC filed its complaint in the case in October 2018.
