Unlike a Fintech, who is dedicated to enabling financial or payment technology, a Techfin is first and foremost a technology company, who happens to consider payment to be one part of their holistic customer experience.

Techfin's are often large organisations that are designing complete consumer ecosystems and require integrated payment capability.

A Techfin could also be a small niche provider of services such as billing with integrated payments. These kinds of providers are emerging as part of the growing Open Banking space in a number of markets.
If the banking sector is unable to implement a cohesive and effective strategy to enable high-value digital consumer payment experiences, then the Techfins will implement it for them.

Words you can keep
In fighting games, teching is defined as the process of recovering from hit stun sooner than you would normally by waiting it out.

In smash bros, it can be done by pressing the guard button a few frames before hitting the ground.

It will look as though the character catches themselves before they hit the ground and get back on their feet. It is an important skill when going up against a character with great power that delivers strong hit stun.
Neo was able to use teching to get out of that hit stun before JC could throw a more serious blow.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
