I’ve been learning Solidity for coming up on five months now, and I need to start learning more about fintech so I can be more relevant with my Solidity. That first course sounds quite alright to me. Thanks!
I am someone who has no coding experience, and I have never worked in the financial industry. I am very interested in learning more about fin tech and taking the courses you suggested in the video. But I don’t know why a company would want to hire someone like me after taking just a few short courses online. Is it really that easy to get your foot in the door at a fin tech company with just a few short online fin tech courses?
@David Grooms - hard to say in somewhat generic terms, of course all depends on your other prior experience. But you can work in the fintech industry even if you don't code. There are plenty non-coding jobs in fintech and having a few courses under your belt will certainly put the odds in your favor, David. Keep me posted if you take any of these....
It’s a bit odd that both the Copenhagen and Duke programs in the video scroll show the same guy and the same quote see min 2:45 and later on for duke scroll at 5:08 Still a great video
What would you advise for someone whose is starting on a completely blank slate when it comes to starting in fintech .I'm interested in learning about fintech but I have no coding or finance background where should I start
Hi, I'm an Accounting Manager. so what course do you recommend to acquire the needed knowledge to be competent in fintech from the perception of accounting? Thanks,
@Mohamed - I think the best 2 courses for you would be these here: Digital Transformation in Financial Services - Copenhagen Business School - bit.ly/3eiIWTi FinTech Law and Policy - Duke University - bit.ly/3eTEn0S They are not specifically on accounting, but the Digital Transformation course is great because it's focused on how traditional finance transforms with FinTech. The FinTech Law and Policy gives you a great overall understanding of how the regulatory part changes and how that impacts everything from peer to peer lending, legal, regulations, new payment methods. Plus, it's super short and can be done over the weekend. Let me know if you pick one and how you like it 🤞
@katey Kaplan - hard to say, they are all quite a bit different actually. As an ex-banker, I think you'd find the Digital Transformation in Financial Services by the Copenhagen Business School interesting as it really confronts how FinTech changed typical banking. But they are all great courses in my opinion 🧐
Currently deciding between the ICA or ACAMS courses, which I can see wasn’t mentioned in the video. What’s your take on those qualifications for someone who works in the Fintech industry?
I'm interested in combining in fintech and I'm currently on the data science self study path. Would you still recommend trying to take some basic finance and business courses
Great video..all the Fintech videos published by you are of great value..Thank you very much! I have question though..I am project manager from IT background however not a technical consultant. I am SAP functional consultant to be precise. So the question is, are there roles for people like me who neither have Finance nor Technical background but seek to transit their career. Thanks Sandeep
@Sandeep - there are roles, but what really helps is you to build a few of these extra credentials on your resume. Your past experience is the building block, but the courses I talk about are great value for demonstrating your much wider reach and understanding of the new tech in finance. I recommend you take the Digital Transformation in Financial Services course I talk about (the link is below the video) - that's a very popular course that walks you through how FinTech transforms traditional finance. Let me know how you like it, keep networking and keep knocking on those doors in FinTech. Good things will happen 🤞
@@martinzeman89 Thanks for the response. I was planning to enrol for Fintech Revolution: Transformative Financial Services and Strategies. Please can you tell whether its good at my level to pursue this course. Thanks Sandeep
Hi I just got a job in support function to a fintech client process. I am an Electrical engg graduate.. but hav little experince in banking. My current role is to identify automation ideas that would help the procss to perform better in trms of accuracy. The client is basic money transfer business.

Thanks for your videos, I have a question for you. I am an Indian and I am looking forward to doing an MBA program in the UK this year. The Univeristy of East London offers an MBA program in Fintech Management and the ARU University offers MBA in Fintech and Analytics. Which one should I choose? I have completed my bachelor's in commerce specializing in finance in 2018.
@Rohan Menon - first of all, congrats on the opportunity. I'd love to help you make a good choice, but I don't know these universities well enough to give a recommendation. I'd recommend you connect with some people that are studying there, or already graduated and ask for their feedback. Go see both places and see what your gut tells you in terms of where you "feel" more at home. Most importantly, have fun while getting an MBA - it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to build a great network. That's ultimately more important than the university name 😜
@@iamrohanmenon Thanks Rohan for your swift response, how can I connect with you, can you help me in clarifying few of my doubts. Please provide me your insta Id if possible. Thanks a lot.
Your channel is so good. Thank you very much. Question: you think someone that does not come from a finance industry is able to pivot and go into FinTech? Thank you once again.
@Bto - thanks 🙏 Yes I do. First of all FinTech offers a lot of roles that are not specifically financial in its nature - for example there are marketing, HR, sales roles at all fintechs. But other than that, so many fintech solutions are so innovative, that sometimes a background in finance may be an obstacle. Bottom line is, fintech companies are very often smaller startups that grow fast, and what they need most are people with open minds, that are creative, resourceful, and come from all sorts of backgrounds. Would it help if you had a prior finance industry experience for some fintech businesses? Yes. Is it an absolute requirement in many others? No, it's not.
@@martinzeman89 I really appreciate the input and feedback. You got a like and subscriber. Looking forward to learning more from you. This is definitely encouraging. Once again appreciate the input 🙏
Hi, Martin! I really like your video and thanks for your advice:) I have a question so far. I am a student who want to pursue a master degree in FinTech in US. Duke university offers a master of engineering program in Fintech. And UC Berkeley offers an industrial engineering and operational research program with a concentration in Fintech. I wonder if you have any advice on which one to choose. I have a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. Thanks in advance!
Hi Sophia - this is a very tough call as both are amazing programs and you can't go wrong here. If I were in your shoes, I would try to visit both campuses, talk to professors and students and if you spend a day at each, your gut will tell you which way to go - sorry can't be much help here, but try to do your own in person due diligence... that's the best advice I can give here 🙏
@@martinzeman89 Thank you very much for giving me your wonderful advice, Martin! I will definitely take your advice:) Your video really let more people know about this amazing new field and determine to pursue a career in it!
I’m an accounting student and I love it, however I wanna combine my studies in accounting with tech knowledge, do you recommend start learning paython before anything else? thanks..
Hey Vanguard, I don't know if I'd say "before anything else," but for sure it will be useful to you down the road, so yes, I do recommend it. And any of the courses I talk about on FinTech and Blockchain will be helpful, as well. Good luck!
Thank you for this value information I have a question that is, what do you think about CFA certificate (Charted Financial Analyst) for the people are working in financial industry want to transfer to FinTec industry?
Hi Atheer - the CFA is a cool certification to have, but it's really quite a lot of study work over a long period of time. I think it's more useful if you want to work in investment banking or private equity and less necessary if you are heading into fintech though.
Hi Martin! I am a banking professional with 10 plus years of experience. I have been a branch head and was handling credit portfolio. Not from any IT background. I would like to do my Masters in UK. Is Fintech a good choice for me??
Really depends on what you want to do and whether you're happy working in your current role. Fintech sounds sexy, but every job has its ups and downs. If you're excited about the new tech that is changing finance, then yeah, I think it's an amazing path to transition to from a typically old school type of a finance job. Good luck if you decide to take that path, Gowri!
@Adenike - hello back to Nigeria! I'd say try to put a couple on your resume with unquestionable credentials. I'd say the Wharton, Berkeley, Stanford or Copenhagen Business School are all great choices: - FinTech Foundations & Applications from Wharton - bit.ly/3uFsp0M - Digital Transformation in Financial Services - Copenhagen Business School - bit.ly/3eiIWTi - Blockchain Fundamentals - Berkeley University of California - tidd.ly/33iTuvm - Machine Learning - Stanford - bit.ly/3xNKcFF Keep me posted on how you like them! 🤞
Hi Martin Zeman, thanks for your videos. Question: Would you recommend the Wharton's course and the Duke's course to someone who wants to get the knowledge of this matter without any experience in the financial landscape? Thank you!
@Miguel Alvarado - you're very welcome. Look, I think both of these courses are great and I'm certain would give you a lot. The question is - are you thinking about taking them for professional reasons or simply out of interest?
@@martinzeman89 Professional reasons. I'm an Accountant and I've been working for more than 10 years as Internal Auditor. I'm trying to get some plus in my career. What do you think? Thanks again!
@Miguel Alvarado - that's interesting because even accounting will one day run on blockchain tech so yes, I think these courses make absolute sense to take for you. Let me know how you like them!
I took the Udacity’s AI for Business Leaders. It’s not about fin tech, rather it’s about how to develop and plan for incorporating AI technologies in organizations. Nothing about FinTech.
Hey there! I think that's a really good combo because you already know the hard stuff around accounting and that will always serve you as a great platform to build on. I recommend you get a couple of good names on your resume that provide overall really good and exhaustive courses around the fintech transformation that's happening. The two here should do the job and move you ahead: FinTech Foundations & Applications from Wharton - bit.ly/3uFsp0M Digital Transformation in Financial Services - Copenhagen Business School - bit.ly/3eiIWTi
Hi Shadab - I think the first two courses in the list below the video are a good start for you: FinTech Foundations & Applications from Wharton - coursera.pxf.io/rnqBm5 Digital Transformation in Financial Services - Copenhagen Business School - coursera.pxf.io/7m9Voy Both of these are from great names and are well structured for a financial professional like yourself. Good luck! 🍀
@@martinzeman89 yes I am. I will be doing at least 2 of the ones you posted I this video. The Berkley one and the free law course. I am also a full time college student getting my associate's in business management. I feel the more the better
I am a business administration major in college, but I'm looking to study more relevant subjects such as finTech. I've taken college courses on business analytics and learned how to use softwares such as Tableau. Is there any specific subject matters or courses I should search for in my college that may help me in pursuit of an in demand business job? Any help would greatly be appreciated
@Gideon - I think you're already going in the right direction. Tableau and generally speaking ERPs used by companies are useful. If FinTech is where you want to go, any coding languages will be a plus and colleges typically offer those courses. Aside from that, I'd recommend one of the courses I talk about from a big, reputable name like Wharton, Yale, Columbia, INSEAD. Keep me posted! 🤞
@@martinzeman89 Thank you for your input Martin! I am a business administration major with a concentration on management. I feel as if I have a broad degree but got a well rounded business education. I also have an interest in technology, which has caused me to take my business elective classes in analytics/ tech. It seems as if FinTech is the future in business and CyberSecurity is also a booming field. I watched your video and I will likely take that Wharton certification you recommended. I was wondering if there are jobs in FinTech that are available without Coding experience? Also wondering what you think would be the best option for me to make myself more attractive and well rounded on top of my business bachelors degree I will obtain as I finish this year. My college offers a Masters in Business Admin as well as Analytics. And also a masters in Cybersecurity. But maybe the Wharton certification and a coding language class would be a quicker route! Thank you so much for your great content and advise!
@Joji victor - FinTech companies are quickly replacing the non-utility type of business that banks traditionally represented. That means commerce and business school graduates will have a ton of opportunities in terms of sales, business development, strategy functions at FinTech companies. I keep pointing people to a simple fact that PayPal is 3x market cap of Goldman Sachs - fintech is where the growth is, including for commerce students. Good luck!
Hi Martin, i did masters in finance and working in an auditing company in India. I was planning to take the financial technology in canada.. Is it a good option??
Sir, currently I'm an ongoing B.com student in India. I have decided yo do my PG in the UK and i have applied for masters in FinTech in the Teesside University, Middlesbrough. When scrutinized through the FinTech modules, i could see certain modules that is entirely related to Technology. Since I'm a commerce background student, will i find it difficult to pick modules that is related to Technology? I saw certain modules based on python and coding. Will it be difficult for me to grasp all chapters related to Tech? And i would be grateful if you could share your opinion in taking FinTech as my PG course. I have also applied for Msc Finance and Investment Banking in some of the universities in the UK. As you are talking about FinTech course that It's certificate can be achieved virtually, is it a wise devision to take Fintech as my PG course? Which would be better in my case to go either for Msc Finance and Investment Banking or Fin Tech? Kindly please give a reply.
And Martin Sir Thank you for this beautiful video. Kindly please answer to my query if it's ok for you. It would be a great help for me if you could say which career path should i have to choose.
@BHASI - first of all, congrats on your choices. They are both good and you can't go wrong. I think this really is a very personal decision. My take is, a masters in FinTech will give you a sharper specialization than a more generic Msc Finance and Investment Banking which is a lot wider and perhaps gives you a wider choice of potential career paths. Do you want to work in the FinTech industry? Or are you also considering investment banking, or other finance careers? If it's the latter, you'll probably be better off not specializing just yet and adding FinTech courses and certifications from one of the courses I talked about or a module that your other UK universities might have. If you're technically inclined and are interested in python and coding, you can pick up these skills without necessarily specializing in FinTech just yet. Bottom line - if you know you are 100% set on FinTech, go do that masters at Teesside. If not, go wider and pick up your FinTech credentials on your own with courses and modules that are widely available. Good luck and most importantly, have fun! ☝️
@Avantika - I know about the Indian Chartered Accountancy track, that's one tough course to finish!!! Throwing in some FinTech education through the courses is a great idea. All the links to the courses I talk about are below the video. I think the first two in the list are a great start, and are very affordable: FinTech Foundations & Applications from Wharton - bit.ly/3uFsp0M Digital Transformation in Financial Services - Copenhagen Business School - bit.ly/3eiIWTi Let me know how you like them 😜

What are the Jobs opportunity for commerce students in FINTECH field in future ?
@Joji victor - FinTech companies are quickly replacing the non-utility type of business that banks traditionally represented. That means commerce and business school graduates will have a ton of opportunities in terms of sales, business development, strategy functions at FinTech companies. I keep pointing people to a simple fact that PayPal is 3x market cap of Goldman Sachs - fintech is where the growth is, including for commerce students. Good luck!
Hi Martin, i did masters in finance and working in an auditing company in India. I was planning to take the financial technology in canada.. Is it a good option??
Hello Rose - yes it's a very good option. If you take it, please let me know how you liked the course.
Sir, currently I'm an ongoing B.com student in India. I have decided yo do my PG in the UK and i have applied for masters in FinTech in the Teesside University, Middlesbrough. When scrutinized through the FinTech modules, i could see certain modules that is entirely related to Technology.
Since I'm a commerce background student, will i find it difficult to pick modules that is related to Technology? I saw certain modules based on python and coding. Will it be difficult for me to grasp all chapters related to Tech?
And i would be grateful if you could share your opinion in taking FinTech as my PG course.
I have also applied for Msc Finance and Investment Banking in some of the universities in the UK. As you are talking about FinTech course that It's certificate can be achieved virtually, is it a wise devision to take Fintech as my PG course? Which would be better in my case to go either for Msc Finance and Investment Banking or Fin Tech? Kindly please give a reply.
And Martin Sir Thank you for this beautiful video. Kindly please answer to my query if it's ok for you. It would be a great help for me if you could say which career path should i have to choose.
@BHASI - first of all, congrats on your choices. They are both good and you can't go wrong. I think this really is a very personal decision. My take is, a masters in FinTech will give you a sharper specialization than a more generic Msc Finance and Investment Banking which is a lot wider and perhaps gives you a wider choice of potential career paths. Do you want to work in the FinTech industry? Or are you also considering investment banking, or other finance careers? If it's the latter, you'll probably be better off not specializing just yet and adding FinTech courses and certifications from one of the courses I talked about or a module that your other UK universities might have.
If you're technically inclined and are interested in python and coding, you can pick up these skills without necessarily specializing in FinTech just yet.
Bottom line - if you know you are 100% set on FinTech, go do that masters at Teesside. If not, go wider and pick up your FinTech credentials on your own with courses and modules that are widely available. Good luck and most importantly, have fun! ☝️
You got it!
So there is no exam to get a certificate? Just complete the course and then get a certificate??!?
Yes for most of the courses you get issued a certificate upon completion Hasan.

Thoughts on Fintec bootcamp from Rice University
I don't know much about it, have you tried it?
@@martinzeman89 not really , that’s why I wanted your option on it 😅
I want you make a lot of video about fintech
Sok Lay - more coming for sure. 👻
Can I get into fintech without a college degree ?
You absolutely can!
The Copenhagen course is 7 days free then 35£ a month
@SIG - can you get it done in 7 days? 🤷♂️
Hey! I’m pursuing Chartered Accountancy course from India (Just like CPA in USA), could you please recommend some fintech courses for me?
@Avantika - I know about the Indian Chartered Accountancy track, that's one tough course to finish!!! Throwing in some FinTech education through the courses is a great idea. All the links to the courses I talk about are below the video. I think the first two in the list are a great start, and are very affordable:
FinTech Foundations & Applications from Wharton - bit.ly/3uFsp0M
Digital Transformation in Financial Services - Copenhagen Business School - bit.ly/3eiIWTi
Let me know how you like them 😜
Cool but the courses aren’t affordable, they might be for people who earn dollars
Let's say, "reasonably" affordable then? Investing in yourself and in gaining new skills is the best investment you can make. 🧐
You’re very handsome. I wish you were bisexual.
