How to Abbreviate ‘Financial Technology’

We love to create shortcuts for business terms, but we don't always immediately understand the spelling of these words. "Financial technology" is a glaring example.

See for yourself, and test your knowledge on this one. What's the correct way to spell the abbreviation for "financial technology"?

1. FinTech

2. Fintech

3. finTech

4. fintech

And the answer is . . . "fintech," with a lowercase "f" and "t." Perhaps because this term is so new and involves finance, some people think it's spelled with an uppercase "F" and camel-case "T," but the word is all lowercase.
