First, there is a huge potential for controversies to arise, such as Uber and Lyft issues which existed in the U.S. In addition, they want to ensure that there is a healthy environment for innovators and FinTech firms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My Thoughts:<\/p>\n<p>I think this article presented the general idea of Iran creating a FinTech Association very well.
