Background of the Study
Cloud computing has revolutionized the financial services industry by providing scalable, cost-effective, and secure solutions for data storage, transaction processing, and customer engagement. Fintech companies, in particular, have leveraged cloud technologies to innovate and deliver financial products and services with greater efficiency (Olawale & Ibrahim, 2023). Cloud-based platforms enable fintech firms to offer services such as digital wallets, payment gateways, and data analytics while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
In Jigawa State, the fintech sector is growing, driven by increasing demand for digital financial services and the need to address financial inclusion challenges. However, the adoption of cloud computing faces obstacles such as data security concerns, regulatory compliance, and limited infrastructure (Garba & Usman, 2024).
