The Index aims to address the scarcity of uniform data and the inconsistencies in defining ‘fintech’ by compiling a large collection of open data about the fintech industry. Previously, the most recent data on the fintech industry was provided by the World Bank through the Global Findex Database, which has not been updated since 2021.
Representatives of ConnectPay stated that the EFI can be a valuable tool for decision-making by providing the latest data in an interactive data map, allowing users to select and compare relevant information.
Varying definitions hinder accurate tracking of industry progress. The EFI aims to promote relevant discussions about what should be included under the term ‘fintech.’
Following the EFI's launch, market experts will be invited to provide insights on improving and enhancing the Index. Their contributions are considered essential for the success and potential growth of the EFI. The goal is to increase market transparency, clarify the definition of fintech, and help track industry progress.
