An aspiring business struggles both to maintain a customer base and not fall into a fraud trap. Reports claim that an average U.S. FinTech goes through a loss of around fifty-one million dollars every year. These are just rough estimations. There is tangible evidence to prove that the losses are even more than the estimation.
