ABSTRACT
In terms of remote banking services for social welfare programmes, fintech has completely changed the game for financial institutions, particularly during the COVID pandemic. However, many recipients continue to be dubious due to fears about its security. This study aims to create an extended technology acceptance model (TAM) that incorporates perceived risk, trust and innovation diffusion theory into the conventional TAM model to understand better the variables that influence user adoption and implementation of Fintech technologies. The critical FinTech applications were evaluated using the hypothetical classic model, which included external influences. The proposed model (urban poor beneficiaries‐TAM) was experimentally verified using semi‐structured questionnaires and structural equation modelling data. This research shows that attitude has a considerable impact on how fintech apps are meant to be used, outweighing usefulness and risk as factors that directly affect how they are used. The report concludes by discussing the critical organizational consequences and offering a variety of strategies for maintaining this recently innovative business in light of current technological improvements.

ABSTRACT
In this modern era, when access to healthcare services is improved, and awareness among the general population is enhanced, the presentation of mere septal abscess of the nose as a fatal complication is less common. Due to various lockdown restrictions in the COVID-19 scenario and fear to contract an infection, patients are presenting late to the health care setting for proper management. We treated an 11-year old child of complicated nasal septal abscess who responded well to aspiration of pus and medical treatment. Our patient is a rare case report who progressed from vestibulitis to septal abscess and further leading to sinusitis, orbital, and intracranial complications.
