5 FinTech Tweets you should see!

By Joy Dumasia

FinTechs, like any other company, are now embracing social media to tell their stories, engage with their consumers, and leverage influence. Additionally, the data and insights collected from social media platforms, in this case, tweets, can help FinTech companies analyse consumer behaviour and preferences, the most critical factor in present times.

Financial institutions have also begun to recognise the opportunities provided by social media in catering to the present generation. With the ever-evolving digital landscape, it has become imperative for banks to offer services that cater to the changing channels of interaction, especially social media.
