Software Development in the Fintech Industry: A Literature Review

Background: The digital transformation of the financial industry led by technological advances, together with changes in regulations, have created opportunities for companies to provide innovative new financial services. Fintech applies latest technological innovations to provide better and more efficient financial products and business models, disrupting the traditionally rigid banking industry. Objective: The objective of this study was to find out what kind of digital services are provided by the fintech industry, what software or technology related competencies and skills are needed in the development of fintech software, and the special requirements of fintech software. Method: The method of this study was systematic literature review. Following the defined review protocol, 31 primary studies published between the years of 2015 and 2021 were identified as relevant for this review by queries to three scientific databases. The selected primary studies were categorized by services, competencies and requirements. Results: Most of the identified digital services were payment applications but also robo-advisors, budgeting tools and compliance automation tools were found. The technologies and related skills extracted from the studies were divided to software development skills and data science skills and further categorized. Compliance with laws and regulations and various reporting and auditing practices were found to be unique domain requirements for fintech. Security was the most mentioned non-functional requirement of a financial system. Conclusions: Fintech is a cross-disciplinary field with unique requirements for business critical software. However, research on fintech software development is still limited

The Proceedings of 14th Australian Digital Forensics Conference, 5-6 December 2016, Edith Cowan University, Perth, Australia

Conference Foreword This is the fifth year that the Australian Digital Forensics Conference has been held under the banner of the Security Research Institute, which is in part due to the success of the security conference program at ECU. As with previous years, the conference continues to see a quality papers with a number from local and international authors. 11 papers were submitted and following a double blind peer review process, 8 were accepted for final presentation and publication. Conferences such as these are simply not possible without willing volunteers who follow through with the commitment they have initially made, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the conference committee for their tireless efforts in this regard. These efforts have included but not been limited to the reviewing and editing of the conference papers, and helping with the planning, organisation and execution of the conference. Particular thanks go to those international reviewers who took the time to review papers for the conference, irrespective of the fact that they are unable to attend this year. To our sponsors and supporters a vote of thanks for both the financial and moral support provided to the conference. Finally, to the student volunteers and staff of the ECU Security Research Institute, your efforts as always are appreciated and invaluable. Yours sincerely, Conference Chair Professor Craig Valli Director, Security Research Institut
