3 Fintech Stocks to Buy on the Dip

The fintech industry is expected to achieve high growth this year and beyond with the continuation of remote work and lifestyles. So, we think it could be wise to buy the dip in the following fundamentally sound fintech stocks: Intuit (INTU), FactSet Research (FDS), and OneMain (OMF). Read on.
