The anticipated surge in the shift towards digital banking and payments is poised to drive the growth of the fintech-as-a-service market. Digital banking, involving transactions conducted through digital platforms, is eliminating paper-based processes, and fintech as a Service (FaaS) is instrumental in this shift. FaaS contributes significantly to digital banking by offering mobile applications, web-based platforms, APIs, and sophisticated applications leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide financial advice. Moreover, FaaS provides digital banking solutions that empower companies to furnish their customers with online banking services. For example, as of July 2023, an estimated 93% of Brits utilized online banking in 2022, with an additional 5.3 million (10%) intending to acquire a digital-only bank account in 2023. Projections indicate that by 2028, digital-only bank account holders in the UK will reach 22.6 million (43%). Consequently, the upsurge in the adoption of digital banking and payments is steering the growth of the fintech-as-a-service market.

The escalating concerns regarding security and privacy are anticipated to be key drivers of the fintech-as-a-service market's growth. Security and privacy measures, which encompass safeguards to protect information and ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability, play a crucial role in the flourishing Fintech-as-a-Service market. These robust cybersecurity protocols and privacy frameworks are essential in addressing growing concerns, building trust, and ensuring the secure handling of financial data in digital transactions and services. For instance, in December 2023, a report from PurpleSec, a US-based veteran-owned and operated cybersecurity company, highlighted a significant increase in ransomware attacks targeting software supply chain entities in 2021. Supply chain attacks became more targeted and prominent, and insider threats gained increased attention, prompting companies to assess the risk of data theft from trusted business partners. Consequently, the mounting concerns related to security and privacy are steering the growth of the fintech-as-a-service market.
