In fact, one could argue that the last great financial innovation was the credit card. However, necessity breeds innovation, as the saying goes. And as the financial crisis that began in 2008 hit, alternative financial instruments, methods of payments and a multitude of fintechs sprung up to address various financial needs and gaps in the network of payment services. Still, the inconveniences felt from users in the traditional banking system wasn’t quite enough to propel these alternative payment methods into popularity. Fast forward 12 years, and a global pandemic of unseen proportions accelerated the conditions for fintech growth and the drastic need for alternative payment options. Whilst banks were still considered trustworthy, the continued frustration in the banking operating systems, as compared to the upcoming tried and tested alternative payment options, propelled innovation in the financial sector. ![SSouthwell](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/0e465ff110b493b3d318f2b4f7bc8851) [SSouthwell](https://blog.globalprocessingcentre.com/blog/author/ssouthwell) [Read More](https://blog.globalprocessingcentre.com/blog/financial-institutions-and-fintechs-friend-or-foe) #### About - [About GPC](https://globalprocessingcentre.com/about/) #### Services - [Financial Institutions](https://globalprocessingcentre.com/financial-institutions/) - [Independent ATM Operators](https://globalprocessingcentre.com/independent-service-operators/) - [Conglomerates](https://globalprocessingcentre.com/conglomerates/) #### Fintech - [Fintech Solutions](https://globalprocessingcentre.com/fintech-solutions/) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/GlobalProcessingCentre) [Follow us on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/global-processing-centre/?viewAsMember=true)
