Check out our Q & A with GigWage CEO Craig J. Lewis below!
Why Texas for FinTech?
In recent years, the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex has identified themselves as one of the top FinTech hubs in the United States.
Ranked number two in the US for Finance companies, Texas is home to major financial institutions such as Charles Schwab, JP Morgan, and Fidelity Investments. With their pre-existing network of major banking institutions, it’s no surprise that the two cities have welcomed 7,394 new Finance and Insurance companies since 2010.
With the backing of traditional banks like Charles Schwab and JP Morgan, digital payments is one of the fastest growing areas of FinTech in Texas. New demographics have suggested that Gen Z is often spending more than $45 billion a year with financial technology companies, and the future of the industry will bring diversification to the space.
