The growing use of machine learning in cloud environments raises critical concerns about data security and privacy, especially in finance. Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) offers a solution by enabling computations on encrypted data, but its high computational cost limits practicality. In this paper, we propose PP-FinTech, a privacy-preserving scheme for financial applications that employs a CKKS-based encrypted soft-margin SVM, enhanced with a hybrid kernel for modeling non-linear patterns and an adaptive thresholding mechanism for robust encrypted classification. Experiments on the Credit Card Approval dataset demonstrate comparable performance to the plaintext models, highlighting PP-FinTech's ability to balance privacy, and efficiency in secure financial ML systems.
