Abstract

One of the main purposes of financial technology solutions is to reduce the infrastructure costs of financial institutions. Adopting the use of FinTech technologies implies, in addition to a reduction in costs derived from physical entities, an improvement in user satisfaction, greater flexibility in terms of data access on different devices and more transparency in financial management. As a result, this paper proposes a blockchain-based scalable platform for investment recommendations. The platform proposed in this research serves as a decision support tool. A use case is included showing the process from the initial product search to the final investment recommendation that concludes in the optimal portfolio.
