Abstract: Several traditional practices are coherently shifting to impeccable methods by maneuvering the needs of its users. This entails almost all verticals in an economy. Be it agriculture or export business, the scrupulous simplification has become a prerogative exertion. Among all the shifts, the enticing amusement is on FinTech for policy makers and corporates. FinTech has revolutionized and transformed the conventional operations that is been perceived since the inception of monetary transactions. In 2021, this has become a multibillion-dollar (USD) sector where leading companies and startups are flooding to venture in it. FinTech researchers and service-providers have produced impressive solutions to monitor not only the financial extravagance but also the convenience to a common man. This study is neither having an objective to carry out the merits nor demerits of FinTech, but to present a trend analysis of FinTech to alleviate the effects of shadow or parallel economy. This is possible if roots of Illicit Financial Flows (IFF) are captured. World Bank (World Bank Annual Report 2020) claims IFF as major driver of shadow economy. Every consecutive year International Monetary Fund (IMF) organizes a forum with economists and finance experts to submit their views or reports on progress of IFF in international trades. The reports are outrageous. Efforts are made to control IFFs but there hasn’t been a concrete plan. During this research, it was imperative to notice that few countries have bailed out of poverty line with the help of FinTech sector. Although this is unimaginable, there are authentic evidences submitted in this research about it. This led the authors to come up with this research using Big Data as a tool to measure using horizontal analysis or trend analysis.
