Enterprise Applications, Markets and Services in the Finance Industry

Advancements in information technology not only changed the way we communicate and process data but particularly paved the way to new business models, markets, networks, services, and players in the financial services industry. Electronic trading, data analytics, and FinTech offerings represent only some of these developments. The FinanceCom workshop series has been providing significant academic research in this area at the intersection of information systems and finance from the beginning and well before the rise of the FinTech concept. Research presented at FinanceCom workshops aims to help academics and practitioners to understand, drive, and exploit the oppor- tunities associated with these information technology-driven developments in the financial sector.
After the very successful FinanceCom workshops in Sydney, Australia (twice); Regensburg, Germany; Manchester, UK; Montreal, Canada; Paris, France; Frankfurt, Germany (twice); and Barcelona, Spain, FinanceCom 2020 was held virtually for the first time due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and associated travel restrictions. Thanks to our authors, presenters, and participants, FinanceCom 2020 led to fruitful discussions about the presented papers and an exchange of ideas despite the physical distance with participants joining the virtual conference room from Australia, Europe, and the USA.
