In the following, we present three companies that are all profiting from the megatrend. Here are the yield drivers for your portfolio.

Square, Marble Financial, Commerzbank - Generating high returns with innovations!
Innovation meets the financial industry. The terms fintech, proptech or insuretech, are often associated with it. The common denominator: technological innovations meet fields of application in established industries. Whether mass-market or niche, the new solutions often have the potential to shake up the industry. Usually, it is David versus Goliath. However, history also holds other possible scenarios in store. Sometimes the two cooperate, or an established player takes over the newcomer. We present three exciting stocks below. Who has the greatest potential?

Nokia, Square, Triumph Gold - The money is on the street!
The international central banks have long agreed: Holding money makes no sense. After years of minus interest rate pressure, there is now to be a gentle inflation. For the consumer, this means less money in the account because of fees and minus interest, and when it is then spent, the rising inflation ensures a discount in consumption. No matter how you look at it: Money is a burden. Following the price markups for real estate and stocks brings us to a conclusion: money is abundant, but the gap between rich and poor could not be greater. Bottom line: There is no alternative to buying stocks!

Square, Marble Financial, Commerzbank - Now the banking and finance stocks are going
When bull market movements persist and tech and hype topics have all run back and forth, one likes to remember an often neglected stock market segment: banking and financial stocks. These stocks are mostly called late cyclicals because, in a typical upswing scenario, the banks' original growth financing takes place first under high risks. Only when the economy does well again does the transaction volume increase on both the credit and asset sides. Of course, companies that participate in payment transactions always exist. Let's see which financial stocks are currently convincing.

PayPal, Upco International, Square - Digital Payments: Continuing disruptive potential!
Mobile payments include all forms of cashless payment using mobile devices when shopping online or at traditional sales outlets. Digital payments subsume all transactions that are processed via the Internet and are directly related to online purchases. Various payment methods can be used, such as credit cards or online payment service providers like PayPal. According to Statista, the global volume of digital payments will amount to almost EUR 6,000 billion (!) in 2021, increasing a good 20% over the previous year. Mobile payments, in particular, still have huge potential. Worldwide, less than 1/5 of all users use cell phones for payments. Do you want to bet on the continuing high disruptive growth potential of the industry?

Upco International, Square, IBM - Shop like Robinhood and pay by mobile!
Instead of using their wallets, more and more Germans prefer to use their smartphones or smartwatches at the supermarket checkout - for a good reason: It's simply faster. There's no more searching for change, and no one has to wait for change. Quick checkout at the supermarket, hotel or swimming pool has already proven its worth as a way of bypassing the queue. Mobile payments can be made wherever cash registers are NFC-enabled: Such cash registers can be recognized by the wave symbol, which looks like a WLAN symbol lying on its side. However, not every mobile payment service is suitable for every user. Upco is a small but very flexible provider that offers payment solutions via chat app and also allows crypto connections.

Bitcoin Group, BIGG Digital Assets, Square Inc.- incredible potential!
The market penetration of cryptocurrencies and the tokenization of crypto assets are still at an early stage. The benefits of blockchain-based transactions are clear. Bitcoin marked an all-time high last week at USD 41,000, quintupling in 12 months. Professional investors are becoming increasingly interested in the crypto asset class. Ultimately, the triumph of crypto depends on regulators and general acceptance. However, the multi-faceted Group of payment service providers or specialized (software) solution providers are also interesting for investors. After all, these are cutting themselves an ever-larger slice of PayPal's colossal pie. We introduce you to promising companies, some of which are still relatively unknown, that have huge upside potential.

BIGG Digital Assets, Alibaba, Square: Crypto & Technology - the new empire makers!
Many probably did not expect such a sharp correction. After weeks of rushing upwards, the Bitcoin and the entire crypto market has let off steam. To 25.11.2020 BTC/USD reached its 52-week high of USD 19,480.50, other prominent cryptos like Ethereum, Ripple or Litecoin also stood on new high marks. However, this was probably too big a sip from the bottle, a sell-off shortly before the magic USD 20,000.00 in Bitcoin captured the entire market and led to short-term discounts of up to 50% in the side stages. Bitcoin itself corrected a temporary loss of a good USD 3,000.00 or 15% up to USD 16,300.00. Yesterday, Sunday, however, the weak phase seemed to be over again, and the most popular Internet currency climbed again by 10 percent to USD 18,100.00. If that was the correction, then there are likely still some hot weeks left in the year ahead!
