Supporting the Fintech Community
Helping fintech startups navigate policy, regulation and engage directly with policymakers
What We Do
Fintech is transforming the way we spend, save, invest and trade - and it's a key sector for the UK's tech ecosystem. Fintech has always been at the heart of our mission to make the UK the best place to found a startup.
But while the sector continues to grow and attract global attention, it is also under threat from regulatory delays and a lack of clarity that risk slowing innovation. With so much happening, it can be difficult to keep track and know where best to engage. That's why we've launched a dedicated fintech vertical, bringing together some of the UK's most innovative startups shaping the future of finance.
By becoming a supporter, you'll be able to cut through the noise and focus on what really matters. You'll be the first to hear about policy and regulatory developments relevant to your business, you'll get access to the events and forums we host to connect policymakers with startups on the frontlines of fintech, and you will help shape our campaigns for real, actionable policy change in the sector.

Key Issues We Fight For
We fight for the issues that matter to those investing in the startup ecosystem.
Payments
Whether it's A2A, the National Payments Vision, Open Banking or the ongoing conversation around fees - we have a prominent and vital voice in payments.
Consumer Credit and BNPL
We tackle the big Government issues, delving into how best reform the Consumer Credit Act, Credit Information Market and BNPL to find innovative solutions that support startups.
Regulators
Fintechs are often born from regulation and in order for the UK to have world-class Fintechs we need world-class regulators. We tackle how we can improve the regulators, from fixing FCA authorisations, asking the big questions around the Consumer Duty or dealing with quasi-regulators like the FOS.
What's Next
Fintech regulation and policy is constantly shifting and we like to think forward. We deal with topics from Open Finance, how the UK can democratise investment and what the future of regulations should look like.
