Recently, based on Internet and mobile environments, the Fintech industry that fuses finance and IT together has been rapidly growing and Fintech services armed with simplicity and convenience have been leading the conversion of all financial services into online and mobile services. However, despite the rapid growth of the Fintech industry, few studies have classified Fintech technologies into detailed technologies, analyzed the technology development trends of major market countries, and supported technology planning. In this respect, using Fintech technological data in the form of unstructured data, the present study extracts and defines detailed Fintech technologies through the topic modeling technique. Thereafter, hot and cold topics of the derived detailed Fintech technologies are identified to determine the trend of Fintech technologies. In addition, the trends of technology development in the USA, South Korea, and China, which are major market countries for major Fintech industrial technologies, are analyzed. Finally, through the analyses of networks between detailed Fintech technologies, linkages between the technologies are examined. The trends of Fintech industrial technologies identified in the present study are expected to be effectively utilized for the establishment of policies in the area of the Fintech industry and Fintech related enterprises' establishment of technology strategies.

In this study, we define Fintech services as review previous literatures and identify the traditional Fintech service market for analysing the economic effects of the Fintech Industry by using the 2014 Input-Output Table. We can identify the current market of Fintech industry which consists of VAN, PG, financial SW, mobile banking and Fintech R&D and we conduct Input-Output analysis by using non-competitive import model. The Input-Output analysis results show that production inducement effect and front/rear chain effect of the Fintech Industry are below average of other industries. This is because the Fintech technology and industry were emerging in Korea at that time (2014), and thus the ripple effects are not significant. Especially, due to the existing white risk financial regulation, new business opportunities have not been open to adapt new ICT-financial technologies. Therefore, when the business ecosystem is build through deregulation and platforms of the financial sector, it is expected that the Fintech Industry will have a high ripple effect. In this study, we identify the current market of Fintech industry from ICT indusries and conduct Input-Output analysis. The economic effects of the Fintech industry are not remarkable, but it is significant to identify the emerging market and present the basic analysis of issued research field.

As the new technologies like IoT and Fintech appear which have not existed before, security threat ranges in existing system are increasing. Especially, IoT has increasing ranges to cause malicious behaviors in specific systems because related IT infrastructure ranges are increasing. Fintech also requires the innovation of traditional security system because it has new structure which didn't exist in the past. As IoT and Fintech technologies are commercialized and related markets are developing in the future, structural security threats could be connected to actual attacks and secondary attacks by the attackers' imbedding of back door in IoT internet devices through remote access. Customer's device cannot be compulsively controlled for security in new system where these various security threats exist. Therefore, these services should minimize the collected information, and now is the time to politically control the utilizing methods of the collected information. In this thesis, security threats are to be suggested which could occur in newly appearing mobile services like IoT and Fintech.

Therefore the current dissertation, tries to deduce the suggestions for invigoration measures for Fintech by conducting an empirical study on the factors that influence the intention of reuse of Fintech on the consumer's point of view. Design/methodology/approach This study made a design of the research model by integrating the factors deducted from the Expectation Confirmation Theory. This paper empirically analyzes the impact of Continuous Usage Intention for Improvement of Fintech. The 302 survey responses were used to verify research hypotheses through covariate structural equation model. Findings According to the empirical analysis result, this study confirmed that the ultimate purpose of the Fintech service is to eliminate the social cost's waste element occurring from issue of money by not using or reducing the usage of cash. Since many Fintech users have pointed out security as the priority task, a direction for the related institutions has been proposed.

Globally, Fintech, which acts to replace existing intranational payment methods, is actively used, and such Fintech payments are widely accepted in international B2C trade. However, Fintech for B2B trade has not been released to the market thus far, and previous attempts at electronic international payment systems, such as Bolero, TradeCard, and Identrus, have not succeeded, and most of them have completely disappeared. On the other hand, there are continuing attempts to introduce Fintech technologies such as blockchain to international payments, and these attempts are more widely pursued in foreign countries. If international payments using Fintech are marketed through foreign services and such Fintech services become the de-facto standard for international payments, then Korea in which dependency on international trade is high will be vulnerable due to a dependency on foreign services such as relying on foreign SNS platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Therefore, this paper proposes a business model that can be used as a legitimate B2B trade international payment system on the basis of domestically provided services, focusing on various services afforded by K-SURE, which is the Korea Trade Insurance Corporation.

The empirical research was based on a survey which carried through 359 participants. Research hypotheses were evaluated via SPSS Statistics 21.0 and AMOS 19 statistical package program. Findings Results showed that self-efficacy and individual innovation had a significant effect on the technostress and switching cost. In addition, technostress, security and switching cost had a significant effect on the resistance of adopting a fintech service. However, more factors are needed to including in research model to generalize these results.

The study concluded that the investment raised for the Fintech industry increases annually and the quality and size of transactions gradually increases. Today, Fintech maintains its position as one of the most attractive markets for venture capitalists and the image of an industry with high potential, especially in the era of open banking. The most attractive markets for investors are mature markets, such as the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom, and the preferred niches for investment - the vertical of payments and lending. Trends in investment activity in terms of investing in financial technologies are studied.

Recently, with the rapid growth of the O2O market, Fintech combining the finance and ICT technology is drawing attention as innovation to lead "O2O of finance", along with Fintech-based payment, authentication, security technology and related services. For new technology industries such as Fintech, technical sources, related systems and regulations are important but previous studies on Fintech lack in-depth research about systems and technological trends of the domestic Fintech industry. Therefore, this study aims to analyze domestic Fintech trends and find the insights for the direction of technology and systems of the future domestic Fintech industry by comparing Kakao Pay and Samsung Pay, the two domestic representative mobile payment services. By conducting a complete enumeration survey about the tweets mentioning Fintech until June 2016, this study visualized topics extraction, sensitivity analysis and keyword analyses. According to the analysis results, it was found that various topics have been created in the technologies and systems between 2014 and 2016 and different keywords and reactions were extracted between topics of Samsung Pay based on "devices" such as Galaxy and Kakao Pay based on "service" such as KakaoTalk. This study contributes to analyzing the unstructured data of social media by period by using social media mining and quantifying the expectations and reactions of consumers to services through the sentiment analysis. It is expected to be the foundation of Fintech industry development by presenting a strategic direction to Fintech related practitioners.
