With the rapid development of information technology and the popularization and application of the Internet, financial technology (fintech) has gradually emerged and become a hot topic in the global financial industry. With its efficient, convenient and innovative characteristics, financial technology is profoundly changing the traditional financial industry, providing unprecedented support and empowerment for the real economy. This article will discuss the impact of fintech on the real economy and the importance of digital transformation in the current general trend.

Traditional financial institutions have relatively narrow financing channels and limited financing support for real economic entities such as micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. Through the Internet, big data and artificial intelligence, financial technology has broken the geographical and time limitations of traditional finance, and provided more convenient and flexible financing channels. For example, emerging financial models such as crowdfunding, P2P lending, and digital currencies provide more financing options for the real economy, reduce financing costs, and promote innovation and development.
2.Intelligent financial risk control.
Risk management in traditional financial business requires a large amount of manpower and resource investment, which is inefficient and prone to omissions.

For example, through the Internet financial platform, enterprises can choose suitable financing products and services according to their own conditions, which improves the pertinence and flexibility of financial services and enhances the competitiveness of the real economy.
4.The impetus for financial innovation.
The advent of fintech has brought more opportunities and possibilities for innovation to the financial industry. Through technological innovation and business model innovation, emerging fintech companies have promoted the optimization and upgrading of financial services and promoted the development of the real economy. For example, the application of mobile payment, blockchain, artificial intelligence and other technologies has changed the transaction and payment methods of traditional finance, improved transaction efficiency and user experience, and promoted the digital transformation of the real economy.
