This has become possible through the use of technology which helps companies manage their activities in finance. These activities are underpinned by the introduction of distributed ledger technology also known as the Blockchain, Big Data analytics, and data visualization. These tools have acted as the catalyst for a significant amount of disruption in the financial services industry.
