Description:

This course uses a workshop/laboratory format to teach students about fundamental concepts of applying consumer financial information to enable financial inclusion. These concepts are foundational to the social purpose of a large segment of the FinTech industry. We intend to develop other workshops that orient students to other aspects of Fintech work. In the Data for Good workshop, business, computing and other students will learn: About the nature and structure of stored consumer financial payment data. How to access relevant data in a secure manner. Analysis techniques that can be applied to identify usage patterns. To identify transactional patters that indicate financial management strengths and needs. Evaluative techniques that reduce unintended bias or inequity. How credit and inclusion decisions are made and can be improved upon. Ways to overcome consumer skepticism about participating in the financial system. Techniques to engage and retain new consumers in achieving financial objectives. A further objective of this course is to expose and engage students in the work of FinTech through the research and interaction with FinTech Leaders on designated projects.
