    Big Tech is expanding its role across the financial services sector. At the front end, we learn that Apple Pay has more than 500 mn users (Source: Business of Apps, Ant Group, Loup Ventures, Tencent). At the backend, we learn that Amazon Cloud commands 1/3 of the cloud computing market powering the internet as we know it (Source: Synergy Research Group).
