Non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) in India performs a vital role in meeting the monetary needs of the individuals and businesses and are now more concentrated on developing disruptive technology-driven solutions that enable the smooth creation, launch, deployment and execution of customized products and services. In this scenario, this study tries to understand the Fintech adoption behaviour of customers of NBFCs. It also aims to understand important demographic trends in Fintech adoption behaviour.
