The French fintech sector was not affected by the health crisis

The general trend of integrating fintech into the global economy has been particularly noticeable this year with the health crisis. For the France FinTech association’s barometer, this was an opportunity to look back on a very singular year.

Over the last twelve months, the challenges of the first quarter did not evolve in the same environment as the rest of the year.

The digitization of payments and financial products is already far behind us, and the rate of bankers is particularly high compared to countries such as the United States.
