What this question trains
This question practices a common FIG interview skill, understanding how financial technology companies make money and how their economics differ from traditional financial institutions. Candidates need to think through the main revenue streams used by fintech businesses, such as transaction-based fees, subscription style service fees, and interest income from lending activities. Interviewers ask this because FIG work often requires judging the durability, scalability, and risk profile of a business model, especially for newer financial companies where revenue drivers can vary widely by product and customer base.
