      abstract = {The banking and financial landscape has been inundated  with technology over the last decade, with FinTech,  InsurTech and RegTech being just some of the new  applications within finance. In the Gulf Cooperation  Council (GCC), FinTech is yet to Ưfind its feet despite  several digital transformation drives initiated by the  regional governments in the UAE and Bahrain. In comparison  to conventional Ưfinance, the use of FinTech within Islamic  financial institutions (IFIs) in GCC countries is still in  its very early stages. However, the potential disruption  that technology may cause for the Islamic Ưfinance sector  within this region cannot be underestimated. Aiming to  highlight, examine and address key strategic, operational  and regulatory issues facing IFIs as they make an effort to  keep up with the FinTech revolution, this book explores the  market positioning, product structure and placement,  delivery channels and customer requirements within the GCC  market. The authors evaluate the current situation and look  forward to future regulation surrounding technology and  financial institutions within the GCC. Scholars and  students researching Islamic finance and financial  technology will find this book an insightful and valuable  read, as well as those interested in international finance  more generally.},
