Abstract
Financial technology (FinTech) has dramatically changed the way of banking and financial services. Computer programs and other technology which used to provide and enable financial services is named as FinTech. However, these services face several security and privacy issues while providing financial services to the users. These services and applications must be secured to enhance the acceptance and usability of these services among the users. The main aim of this research is to provide a policy framework to ensure the security and privacy of user information in financial technology, since FinTech applications and services carry quite sensitive data of its users. This policy framework provides a comprehensive set of policies to secure FinTech services. These policies must be implemented in each organization providing FinTech services.
