Fintech has a gender problem – here’s why you should care

Even if you haven’t heard of fintech, you’re probably using it for payments, banking or investments.

Key Points: 
  • Even if you haven’t heard of fintech, you’re probably using it for payments, banking or investments.
  • Women account for just 4% of CEOs, only 18% of executive committee members, and a mere 7.7% of entrepreneurs within fintech.
  • Gender inequalities in each of these combine to form what we call a “triple glass ceiling” in the fintech industry.
  • The longstanding male dominance, continued privileging of masculinity, and rigid gender stereotypes in each of these sectors hinder meaningful progress and change in fintech.

So, where are all the women?

  • Several interviewees noted that women typically work harder and push more to gain the same result as their male peers.
  • However, ideas that get dismissed when suggested by a woman commonly gain credence when offered by a man.
  • Women.
  • Only 1.5% of chief technology officers or chief information officers are women – a reflection of the technology glass ceiling.
  • Since people are more likely to relate to and fund entrepreneurs similar to themselves, male-led ventures are more successful.
  • Successful entrepreneurs have traditionally been male, leading to a male stereotype of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial success.

What does this mean for you?

  • If people build and develop products based on their own frustrations and day-to-day living, innovation can only truly be driven by diverse people with different backgrounds and experiences.
  • If made aware of the gender inequalities in the industry, fintech users can be a voice for change.
  • Shattering the triple glass ceiling represents an immense challenge, but we cannot be allowed to fail.
