Abstract
Companies from the FinTech sector have been operating in the global economy for many years and can be treated as one of the symptoms of the industrial revolution 4.0. These companies and the services they offer are well known to the people, although the name FinTech is unknown. The purpose of this publication is to examine the popularity of FinTech companies in Poland after the COVID pandemic. The research hypothesis put forward in the research assumes that lockdown (in Poland) forced the use of electronic services in FinTech sectors other than just money transfers. The second hypothesis assumes that currently, all age groups use or learn how to use FinTech services in Poland, not only the generation Y.
