 FinTech Resources


​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​What is FinTech?

Financial Technology, or FinTech, encompasses all of the "behind the scenes" operations that occur to make financial services more convenient. Every time you swipe a debit card, make a mobile bank deposit, pay a bill online, ​or send money to a friend, there are multiple FinTech companies working simultaneously to make those transactions possible.

The Georgia FinTech Academy, a collaboration between Georgia's FinTech industries and the University System of Georgia institutions that deliver FinTech ​course instruction​, is a talent development initiative that gives learners the specialized educational experiences needed to enter the FinTech sector regardless of where they live in the state or the college in which they enroll to gain course credits and certifications.

Below are resources and informational materials for the ​​FinTech Academy.
