Marsh’s financial and professional insurance business (FINPRO), financial institutions practice leader Tom Orrico said: “Fintech companies face increasingly complex risks from several sources, including investors, clients, regulators, competitors, and extortionists, as well as those associated with computer crime, data breaches, and technology failures.
