What this question trains
This problem tests whether you can speak intelligently about a major FIG and FinTech subsector and identify the forces changing it. A strong interview answer should connect the move away from cash, the growth of digital and contactless payments, the rise of new technology-led competitors, and the increasing focus on security and authentication. Interviewers ask this kind of question to see if you understand how an industry is being reshaped by adoption trends, innovation, and competitive pressure, and whether you can explain why those changes matter for banks and financial institutions.
