Businesses, investors, and consumers are grappling with the seismic daily changes technology has brought to the banking and finance industry. The Money Hackers is the story of fintech’s major players and explores how these disruptions are transforming even money itself.
Whether you’ve heard of fintech or not, it’s already changing your life. Have you ever “Venmoed” someone? Do you think of investing in Bitcoin--even though you can’t quite explain what it is? If you’ve deposited a check using your iPhone, that’s fintech. If you’ve gone to a bank branch and found it’s been closed for good, odds are that’s because of fintech too.
This book focuses on some of fintech’s most powerful disruptors--a ragtag collection of financial outsiders and savants--and uses their incredible stories to explain not just how the technology works, but how the Silicon Valley thinking behind the technology, ideas like friction, hedonic adaptation, democratization, and disintermediation, is having a drastic effect on the entire banking and finance industry.
Upon reading The Money Hackers, you will:
• Feel empowered with the knowledge needed to spot the opportunities the next wave of fintech disruptions will bring. • Understand the critical pain points that fintech is resolving, through a profile of the major finsurgents behind the disruption. Topic areas include Friction (featuring founders of Venmo), Aggregate and Automate (featuring Adam Dell, founder of Open Table and brother of Michael Dell), and Rise of the Machines (featuring Jon Stein, founder of robo-advisor Betterment). • Learn about some of the larger-than-life characters behind the fintech movement.
The Money Hackers tells the fascinating story of fintech--how it began, and where it is likely taking us.

The book is fairly light, easy and quick listen. It reviews the evolution of the financial world, shaken by technology and the birth of the so popular Fintech - rival of traditional banks. The book reviews the financial world (and market mainly in USA) for the last 30 years or so: from peer-to-peer lending, financial markets and bot or app advisors for it, debit cards, money transfers to latest hot topics of crypto and blockchain. It discusses many interesting stories of different popular disruptors and why they matter. Among some of the mentioned popular products/ companies and how they changed the game are: iPhone (and Apple and how they enabled finance on mobile), Venmo, Zelle, Yodlee, Clarity Money, Kabbage, Mint, Betterment, Akorn, Lending Club, Green Dot (and the creation of debit cards), Western Union (improved money transfers), Wechat (and having one app for everything - chatting, sharing pics, paying, etc).
