Ah, 2013! Was it really, as some have said, a “lost year” for tech?

Hardly. Throughout the year, we read stories that wowed us (“Google Enables the Sending of Money Using Gmail”), as well as those that made us shake our heads or throw up our hands (“Coin Puts All of Your Cards Onto One Card”).

Some stories made us laugh (anything to do with Clinkle), some made us cry (why didn’t we buy those bitcoins back in January?), and some made us hurl our iPads across the room in fits of rage (“Biometrics on iPhone 5S Said to Fall Short for Payments”).

In all, we published 1,115 posts here on FinAi News, and certainly some were better than others. And the best of the best? Here are the Top 10 FinAi News stories of 2013. Take a look and revisit the year that was with us — and here’s to a wonderful 2014 for the entire financial technology community!
