Fintech can be a ‘force for good’
Denise Johansson, co-founder and co-CEO of Enfuce, said:

There will be less funding for innovative fintech entrepreneurs over the next year as a recession looks inevitable across developed economies. Dennis Johansson Co-Founder and Co-CEO of European Cloud Native Publishing and Processing Pioneer Inspire.

“It will be interesting to see not only the impact of the recession on innovation, but also what kind of companies are able to pursue innovation. Partnerships are expected to become prevalent in 2023 to innovate.

“Recessions often create opportunities and streamlined ways of doing things. Fintechs already offer more agile and cost-effective financial services solutions, so a downturn in the economy is a natural fit for the fintech industry. We anticipate creating more opportunities.

“The recession also presents an opportunity for systemic change. In our view, fintech needs to go beyond functionality and become a force for good. Having a clear purpose that positively impacts lives is a distinguishing attribute that attracts consumers’ attention.

“Fintech should not just be about creating solutions to business problems. Whether it is ESG, supporting financial inclusion or social mobility, fintech has solutions that can bring about immediate and long-term change for the benefit of the broader society, and we expect to see more in the coming year. We know this will be more important than ever.”

As a result, the number of banks working with third-party providers has increased significantly, meaning that the level of growth and investment in the B2B fintech space will reach new heights.

“In addition, B2B business models are more insulated from market volatility than B2C business models and are less vulnerable to rising inflation and interest rates. Declining demand and an increase in defaults are expected, which will further contribute to making B2B fintech an attractive proposition for both financial institutions and the investment community.”

“However, merchants are now facing rapidly declining profit margins due to product shortages caught in inflation and supply chain stagnation. They know it is a key driver for more frequent purchases, especially in difficult economic trading conditions.

“In 2023, offering discounts and alternative payment methods will inevitably become a key trend for merchants, as will leveraging the value of payment data. But even when it comes to fine-tuning customer loyalty schemes, we are still beginning to see the value in our applications, and we believe the value of this data will only increase in the next year.
