I think what is really missing is – Cybersecurity (transaction security) and most importantly new, global ID verification schemes. ID verification and validation will be the “next big thing” – it drives down fraud, it helps tailoring services and offers to individuals, it creates convenience to customers, it also enables other new technologies like payments through a single fingerprint. Imagine all the data brokers and ID verification services that one single (international) merchant needs to connect to to check local IDs? a open-global ID would bring e-commerce to the next level.

One vertical, the mother of all ones, is still missing: a true fintech bank (with its own banking licence), built from scratch, to plug others verticals.

There is in fact overlap – as many startups don’t solely play in one field (e.g. b2b payment including FOREX) or FOREX Wallets or. There are interesting approaches like real time FOREX price comparison integrated in ERPs – something we looked into closer for some time.
