FinTech Alliance is a digital platform uniting both the UK and the global financial technology sectors. Fintech Scotland is the independent body established to develop the FinTech community and cluster in Scotland.

The partnership will involve collaborating on a number of initiatives, including global development and engagement with investors.

FinTech Alliance will also support FinTech Scotland throughout next year’s Scotland Fintech Festival in September, developing a programme of events, roundtables and discussions. 
 
FinTech Scotland’s content and activity will appear on its FinTech Alliance microsite and will be promoted by FinTech Alliance across social media platforms and newsletters. 

FinTech Alliance will aim to keep the Scottish community at the centre of the conversation each month by creating original content, sharing Scottish FinTech news and regularly profiling Scottish FinTechs on the FinTech Alliance platform. 
 
Each and every company in the FinTech Scotland community will be able to avail of unique offers from FinTech Alliance as part of the agreement. The FinTech Alliance platform enables companies within the community to share news and insight, connect with investors and talent, and keep up to date with policy and regulation. 

New features and initiatives are being added to FinTech Alliance’s platform on a regular basis, including a Diversity Hub and Mentoring Hub which seek to build a more inclusive FinTech space and offer support to those wishing to build a career in the sector.
 
Stephen Ingledew, CEO, FinTech Scotland, said: “This partnership is a further example of driving FinTech innovation through collaborative relationships. We’re impressed by the progress made the Phil and the team in a short space of time and with our shared values of inclusion and diversity combined with a global mindset we aim to accelerate initiatives to support FinTech enterprises.”
 
Phil Vidler, CEO, FinTech Alliance, added: “It is both exciting and important to have FinTech Scotland on board. Under Stephen’s stewardship, FinTech Scotland has achieved brilliant things as a strategic enabler to some prominent FinTechs in the UK, and has become the true backbone of Scottish FinTech. This partnership cements FinTech Alliance’s commitment to, and support for, all firms across the UK. It also underlines the real spirit of collaboration we are seeing in the FinTech sector – one that will help all involved grow and prosper.”
