As UK fintech continues to mature, it is vital that we all continue to influence the policy environment. I welcome that many have tried to push these issues further up the agenda since the fintech review, which was published last year. That push to hold decision-makers’ feet to the fire deserves praise.

Representing 10% of the global market share and contributing more than £11bn a year to the economy, UK fintech has established itself as a dominant force. It has a strong global brand and has created a thriving startup ecosystem.
