What is behind the rapid growth of UK fintech? There’s a rocket strapped to UK fintech, and it’s only speeding up. On 28 April, UK fintech week kicks off, with industry body Innovate Finance hosting its 11th global summit. This follows another record year for the industry, where businesses saw profits balloon and customer bases swell.

Janine Hirt, chief executive of Innovate Finance, told City AM: “Success stories like Allica Bank, Revolut and Zilch are great examples of UK fintech’s strengths – and they are far from the exception.” Read more of the story here 👇 cityam.com/inside-the-rap… #uk #fintech #finance #financialnews #business #businessnews #tech #technology #technews #personalfinance #economy #economics #london #newyork #bank #banking #monzo #revolut #zilch #onlinebanking #uknews #ukeconomy #uktech
