It means banking. Finance tech.

That was never in question. Online payment portals are Fintech. You don't have to work at IBM to be in Fintech, it includes the entire process built on top of their platform as well.

But COBOL is famously used in legacy banking systems, not modern internet payment systems.

I'm saying that the mention of Fintech in the First Case would IMPLY that the WebDev also deals with Fintech. If both devs have comparable skillsets then it makes sense to compare their pay rates.

IDK, maybe I'm reaching with this one.
