This seminar focused on priorities for supporting the continued development of UK FinTech, assessing the most effective ways for the policy and regulatory environment to encourage growth.
Delegates considered the challenges ahead for delivering the initiatives set out in Government’s FinTech Sector Strategy - as well as the likely impact of the proposals and what further measures should be considered by Government.
Discussion included supporting the international growth of the sector in the context of Brexit, focusing on key issues such as skills and what more could be done to support financing and investment in UK FinTech, with the British Business Bank launching the ‘British Patient Capital’ investment fund.
Further sessions discussed the regulatory framework for FinTech - looking at how the FCA’s Project Innovate might best support the sector’s growth, with concerns around the availability of appropriate guidance and potential barriers to entry for some new market entrants - and as the FCA consults on using technology to achieve smarter regulatory reporting.
The seminar also followed the introduction of Open Banking and attendees discussed its implications for the market, consumers, and security.
