The New Age firms are known for their cutting-edge, technologically driven financial procedures. The goal of innovations is to increase the effectiveness, inclusivity, and sustainability of financial services. Wider application of technology in banking, payment, and investment apps, has accelerated access to financial technologies. With technology comes data, and more specifically, data analysis and decision-making. In many ways, the ease of collecting data through technology is transforming the financial landscape in profound ways, with data also comes great responsibility, as we’ve seen when private data is breached by hackers. A lot of energy is going into data protection and privacy, from both big institutions as well as small startups. This gives rise to a plethora of issues concerning the business models:

The marketing approach that combines online and offline interaction between companies and customers is the managerial agenda of marketing thought which increases targeting and personalization capabilities. This creates opportunities for the emergence of new business models, but on the other hand, creates new challenges in terms of alignment with buyer personas. Nowadays the stress of organizations is on marketing strategies that are customer-orientated rather product oriented because a customer is more informed and demanding. The company anticipates customers' needs upstream of the purchasing process and creates a permanent connection through a multi-channel marketing strategy.
