Overview
An informal London evening for UK fintech, payment and e-money businesses exploring expansion across the EEA and global markets.
Fintech talks, wine & networking
Join us in London for an informal evening of short expert talks, wine and networking focused on international expansion and payment infrastructure diversification for UK financial institutions, hosted on a rooftop terrace with beautiful city views.
Enjoy a specially curated selection of six wines, cold beer and light snacks throughout the evening.
Expanding beyond the UK
UK Payment Institutions and Electronic Money Institutions are exploring opportunities outside the domestic market — to actively solicit customers beyond the UK, diversify their banking and payment infrastructure, or establish in a jurisdiction that allows them to launch faster while their full UK authorisation application is still being processed.
What the evening will cover
The evening will combine a series of short, practical presentations with informal networking, giving attendees the opportunity to hear directly from industry experts from the UK, EEA and Canada, as well as infrastructure providers, and continue the conversation over wine and light bites.
Key discussion areas
The main discussion will focus on two areas:
- How UK financial institutions can expand into new markets
- How they can build a more diversified payment and banking infrastructure to support future growth
