# Three ETFs To Capitalize On The $300 Billion Fintech Boom
By  - Apr 01, 2022, 11:35 AM CDT
Once the insurgents of finance, a fast-growing breed of upstarts that bill themselves as alternatives to old-fashioned banks when moving money around the world are rapidly going mainstream. According to , the term 'Fintech' generally describes technologies that strive to improve and automate the delivery and use of financial services to clients.
Aided by the emergence of cutting-edge technologies like AI, cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and machine learning, as well as an abundance of funding, the fintech industry is growing like a weed--the global industry is projected to  growing at 25% CAGR.

NuBank is backed by several high-profile investors, including Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.B) (NYSE:BRK.A), which  in the company in June, and Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY).

NU currently sports a market cap of $38.7B.
The ESG boom is helping, too.
A good case in point is , a California-based online bank backed by Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio of the Titanic fame, that has fashioned itself as a **Wells Fargo** alternative, and whose proud mantra is *"Clean rich is the new filthy rich."* Aspiration promises to take the leftover change from customers' purchases and use it to plant millions of trees around the world.
, a tree-planting mini program in the **Alipay app** that enables users to earn virtual points for making low-carbon lifestyle choices, announced that it has helped over 600 million users plant more than 326 million trees since it launched in 2016, contributing to reforestation efforts in some of China's most arid regions.
