FinTech North is uniquely positioned as a highly collaborative, pan-Northern ecosystem facilitator with innovation, accessibility and inclusivity at its core. We are not a membership body; many FinTech North events are free to attend and there is no cost to being part of our community.

In addition to bringing people together to build relationships and make connections, our events feature speakers from public sector and national FinTech bodies, alongside established financial services brands and Northern innovators. FinTech North always focuses on FinTech innovation, promoting the North as a centre of excellence and discussing pertinent topics within the sector.

FinTech North is a conduit between the regional and the national. FinTech North supports regional entrepreneurs and FinTech start-ups pro-bono in order to development the FinTech sector in the North. We also regularly support public sector bodies such as FCA, Bank of England, Department for Business and Trade and CFIT (Centre for Financial Innovation and Technology) with their regional engagement.

Alongside our events programme, we profile sector developments via our news section and we are working on initiatives to enhance FinTech skills and maximise international trade opportunities.

Since 2019, FinTech North has been a founding member of the FinTech National Network, a co-ordinating body of UK FinTech hubs, that seeks to increase national connectivity in the sector. FinTech North regularly features speakers from outside of the region.

FinTech North is entirely self-funded and relies on the support of established organisations within our ecosystem to fund our activity via sponsorships and partnerships.
