Team

Financial technology (FinTech) firms have their sights on virtually every aspect of financial services. FinTech firms are designing and introducing alternatives to traditional financial services, products and services, partnering with financial institutions key areas of innovation, and developing new technologies that are changing financial services.

The UK FinTech market is expected to grow by 245% from 2019 to 2030, generating a corresponding £38b in revenue by 2030.

The purpose of EY’s FinTech team is to cater to early and mid-stage FinTechs as well as large FS firms engaging in FinTech.

We do this by supporting FinTech companies with EY’s services, collaborating with them to create new propositions and by connecting with EY partners and clients.

We work closely with the top management teams of FinTechs and financial institutions helping to address the significant business, regulatory and financial challenges that arise during their growth journeys.

We work with EY services delivery ( service line’) teams to meet client needs. Furthermore, we provide FinTechs with the expertise and tools to collaboratively build platforms and software to solve client challenges.

EY’s ambitions for a new digital FS services landscape are translated by its focus on industry connectivity and integration to accelerating the next-generation financial services offerings.
