Under the restricted measures due to the global pandemic Covid-19, like all other services, financial services had difficulties in performing their financial activities. These difficulties are stronger at countries where financial services are denied for a long time. Financial services denial is an issue that has affected not only Albania but small Balkan countries as well. The reasons for this denial are many, but among them we can distinguish the lack of credit experience, as one of the common reasons to be excluded in these countries from the development of the financial sector. Currently, one of the reasons for the financial denial is the emergency created by Covid-19, where physical distancing and other measures taken by governments to restrict movement and services make financial service impossible. Thus, one of the most effective ways to perform financial services remotely is financial technology. Financial technology refers to the possibilities of financial innovation through technology that can result in new business models, applications, processes, or products with an effectiveness related to financial markets and institutions and the provision of financial services. This paper aims to present the challenges of the legal framework and regulatory institutions, to provide recommendations for its improvement, to enable the development of financial technology in the financial market in Albania. The paper address issues such as the Bank of Albania's consideration on the Directive (EU) 2015/2366 On Payment Services (PSD II). What benefits or challenges would its implementation bring? How is the financial industry projected after the implementation of PSD II? What are the biggest job challenges with payment institutions that have not been to the market before or that bring technology innovations? The paper addresses the issue of money laundering through online digital transactions as well.

The digitalisation of global financial technology and marketing is central for the success of many banking organisations across the globe. Digital disruption is a change that occurs when new emerging digital technologies and business models affect the value proposition of existing goods and services for low end demanding customers or for new market customers. Digital banking or online or virtual banking is leading to the digitization of all the traditional banking activities, products, process, or services. It is needless to state that mere adaptation of digital media to comply with trends does not guarantee success. The digital trends in the banking industry has seen banks focusing on digitalization core processes, increasing awareness, financial inclusions, and undertaking sustainable practices. FinTech (i.e., financial technology) is competing with traditional financial methods in the delivery of financial services and reaching the unbanked segment of society, particularly in developing countries. There is a strong need to understand drivers and trends in the FinTech industry.

Bank Indonesia created an appropriate regulatory regime to drive the pace of innovation carried out by Financial Technology Providers while still applying the principles of consumer protection, risk management and prudence. One of the efforts made by Bank Indonesia was by issuing provisions concerning a regulatory sandbox for Financial Technology Providers along with their products, services, technology and/or business models in a Board of Governors Member Regulation No 19/14/PADG/2017 on the Limited Technology Testing Room (Regulatory Sandbox) Financial Technology. Meanwhile, the Financial Services Authority also issued regulation regarding the Regulatory Sandbox for Financial Technology Organizers in Financial Services Authority Regulation No. 13 / POJK.02/2018 on the Digital Financial Innovations in the Financial Services Sector. The main point of view to be analysed is the existence of regulatory sandbox approach held by Bank Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority as an effort to encourage the growth of Financial Technology in Indonesia.

The rise of financial technology (FinTech) engenders novel business models through integrating financial services and information and communication technologies (ICT). Digital currencies and payments, data mining, and other FinTech applications threaten to radically overhaul the financial sector. This article argues that, while we are becoming aware of how technology giants such as Apple Inc. are making inroads into financial services, we need to become more sensitive to how financial incumbents mimick ICT firms while aiming to neutralize the FinTech challenge. Practices from Silicon Valley are spilling over into ‘traditional’ finance through a process we dub Appleization. We illustrate how incumbents aim to remain indispensable amidst rapid digitization. Mimicking tech strategies, financial incumbents resort to transforming legacy ICT systems into integrated platforms, cultivating entrepreneurial ecosystems where startups are ‘free’ to compete whilst effectively being locked into the incumbent's orbit. We illustrate this by comparing Apple’s business features (locking-in developers, customers and state into a hybrid business model based on a synergy between hardware, software and data-driven platform components) with emerging practices in the financial industry. Our analogy suggests that the Appleization of finance might radically transform, yet not undercut the oligopolistic position of financial incumbents.

The article is aimed at determining the consequences of digitalization and development of the fintech sector for the financial services market. According to the results of the analysis, a number of transformational trends for the financial services market are identified and characterized, among which the major ones: disintermediation in the financial services market – as a process of «cutting out» the classical financial institutions from the direct process of financial asset exchange; democratization of financial services processes – as a process of expanding the range of financial products; disaggregation of financial services – as a process of splitting financial services into separate financial products; increasing the inclusiveness of financial services, which provides better availability for different categories of customers; emergence of decentralized finances – as a concept and ecosystem of financial services, in which the provision of financial services and products is carried out directly without traditional financial intermediaries within the public open and decentralized blockchain network; development of automation and virtualization of financial services, which involves the widespread use of artificial intelligence technologies, algorithmic assessment of customer creditworthiness, autonomous risk management, automated trading on the exchange, the work of virtual assistants, robo-advisers and security systems against fraud; appearance of built-in financial products as part of services outside of the applications of financial institutions. The consequence of these trends is a reduction in the demand for financial services as a separate product of classical financial institutions; reducing the profits of traditional financial service providers; expansion of new business models of financial services provision in cooperation with technology companies; increasing the need to update the regulatory support of financial services processes, as well as the integration of mass financial products into the client offers of non-financial companies within a single ecosystem of products and services of a digital company.

Financial regulators are challenged to respond to the innovation opportunities presented by financial technology (fintech). Current rules are not necessarily sufficient or effective to adequately regulate new business models and new products relating to innovations such as crypto assets or digital financial services. Regulators that fail to respond in a timely manner may drive innovation offshore and deprive their markets and consumers of appropriate, new services. To respond to new financial innovation, regulators have been establishing innovation hubs and regulatory sandboxes. Innovation hubs enable them to engage innovators more effectively. Sandboxes allow the products to be tested in a controlled environment and enable to regulator to consider whether existing laws are appropriate to regulate such products and, of not, what measures may be required. Sandboxes are however resource intensive and they hold a number of risks. Financial regulators are, of course, not alone in having to address the regulatory challenges of innovation. This article therefore also considers other non-financial regulatory experiences of innovative products and services, namely automated vehicles; emissions trading in China; and Uber and its clones, to consider whether those experiences hold lessons for financial regulators.
