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.

I suggest providing the course materials ( sildes) before the video since the speakers are moving fast from a point to another. Having the sildes after finisihing the unit makes me want to go back and study the unit again with the materials in my hand for better understanding.
Thank you,

This course is just OK. Very high level information on FIN-TECH, mostly on what it is and regulations around it.
It does not give you the in depth knowledge on neither the technology aspects nor the business aspects that I was expecting out of a UPenn course.

The principal content of this course was good. However, featuring the situation in 2018 (now being 2025) it is terribly outdated given the fact how fast the FinTech is evolving. Update the course with more uptodate data, information and businesses.

the course is overall knowledge on fintech for beginner. It should be more case study analysis and more visualization in the slide. I felt that the lecturer reads the slide without emotion. I think that wharton school should be better.

This course was really interesting and helpful in many ways. Now I have better knowledge about what Fin Tech is and what happens in Fin Tech. The course was really good overall. I really enjoyed it.

A good course to work on the basics of financial regulation, understanding the concept of fintech, regtech and people hisft in behaviour with the increased number of fintech companies.

Interesting. Overly simple: spends too much time on obvious points. Speaks a lot about the financial industry and less about FinTech. I was expecting more Quant.

The content was rather straight forward (even a tad too easy I'd say). Tests ask data-focused questions, not helpful. Presentation is good and well-delivered

the payments modules and regulations modules were very helpful
however the module 2 was very survey heavy and not sure will be very practically relevant

Good intro content but course is very outdated, stats and references are almost 5 years old.
It would need to refresher and updates to be more relevant.

The course just about skims the surface of the FinTech industry. What is disappointing is that the 'Technology' aspect of FinTech is not covered here.

Due credit to the lecturers, but would really appreciate latest and relavant data which is crucial to get a better understanding of the subject.

The course is extremely short and basic, which is not an issue if you know that before starting. A bit outdated (data until 2018, examples..)

Decent overview, but could go farther into specific priority areas in fintech (virtual assets, adoption in emerging markets, remittances)

The module is extensively US-centric whereas FinTech is global and the success of a FinTech company is through economies of scale.

Overall Good course with great content. I think the focus shoudl have been focussed more on foundations and less on regulation

It's frustrating to have such outdated information in a course about information that must, by its nature, be up to date.

This course is a good introduction. However, it needs another update since the last statistics came from 2019 at least.

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.

week one and week 2 quizzes where a bit unrealistic. Usually no one remember's exact statistics
