Abstract
The finance domain has significantly transitioned in recent years due to technological advancements and the rise of big data and analytics technologies and platforms. Hadoop, Elastic Map Reduce, and other techniques have helped financial organizations collect, store, and analyse mammoth amounts of data effectively to make better-informed decisions and enhance overall performance. While these tools enhance decision-making and performance, gaps remain in understanding their strategic implications. In this paper, we investigate the impact of Big data and analytics in the finance industry, emphasising decision making and risk management and various applications of Big data in this domain, such as Credit risk assessment, fraud detection, and client segmentation. We further explore challenges, including regulatory compliance and data integration, and propose a framework for future research.

Keywords
