Elaborate and easy to understand the basic concepts in Fintech. Both the instructors are very good and explained in a way which is easy to understand.Looking foward to complete the certification.

Nice introductory course to FinTech. However, I do not recommend the course for learners without prior knowledge on financial instruments as the course may become technical from time-to-time.

Good content, but the course could go into a little more detail. 4 weeks is far too long an estimate for this material.

It is an ok introductory course. The instructors are gerat. But, would have been happier with a course that is deep.

Very basic and somewhat dated. A fair number of spelling errors in the slides. Not particularly engaging lecturers.

The course is well delivered and excellent in gaining a basic understanding. But this course was made around 5-6 years ago. In today's world, The concepts they explain are already in place with newer information coming to light each day which makes this course feel like a Dinosaur. The course needs to be made relevant to today's market. When you say regulation, you should be taking about PSD 1 and PSD 2 and the upcoming PSD 3, Which is related to payments industry regulations and is the ongoing topic. I would love to see an updated information on these videos.

(2024 May) Beginning of the course was good. Weeks 3-4 were not. Professor Sarin is not a good lecturer, in my opinion. And most importantly, this course came out in 2019, and they use studies from 2013-2017. Lots of the companies they mention no longer exist, the bills haven't passed, the regulatory concerns have already been dealt with, etc.
