Main Article Content
Abstract
The research sought to understand the phenomenon of competition versus collaboration between Fintechs and traditional financial service providers. It was a qualitative study with an exploratory and descriptive approach, using data triangulation and their organization in Display, which allowed checking patterns and causality relationships among the variables. As results, we observed that traditional financial providers adopt collaboration with Fintechs for competition in the financial market as their main strategy. As market dynamics, they launch their own subsidiaries; create risk funds to finance Fintech services; purchase and sell products and services for Fintechs; and create partnerships with these companies. We found that collaboration has been the best way for providers of traditional financial services to compete with companies in the financial market.
