Abstract FinTech is a New Financial Technology, which provides financial services through innovative information and communication technologies. It is widely accepted that 4th industrial revolution, has affected tremendously the living and working conditions of the societies. The convergence between advanced technologies, entrepreneurship becomes more complex and remarkably computerized. Within such significant changes it is rather expected that banking, has been one of the most challenged sectors. New players like FinTech and Big Tech companies try to capitalize the circumstances, by promoting new consumer patterns to gain market shares. The purpose of this study is to investigate the rapid expansion of FinTech and to evaluate its impact on the Greek banking system. This topic becomes very important nowadays as the number of FinTech companies, which compete with traditional banks on financial products and services, are increasing constantly as digital technology develops. In our study we apply a questionnaire method mainly with closed questions to collect data from the main players. To do this, we use two questionnaires each one for a different sample. The first sample consists of the consumers for financial products and services in the Greek banking sector and the second sample consists of the employees in the Greek banking sector. According to the results, customers of all ages seem to trust the traditional banks more than FinTech companies whereas the level of mobile transactions separately for each consumer, depends on age and education. From the answers of the consumers, it is clear that security is on the top of their worries for using financial services by FinTech companies. On the other hand, the second questionnaire with bank employees shows clearly that educational level is a critical factor for their readiness and response to new technologies.
