FinTech Scotland is an independent body established by the financial services sector, universities and Scottish Government
to ensure that Scotland seizes the fintech opportunities and achieves positive economic and social outcomes by
encouraging financial innovation, collaboration and inclusion as part of the country’s broader digital economy objectives.
The organisation acts as a strategic enabler focused on leveraging the potential economic (i.e. productivity, business
creation) and social (i.e. access to financial services and employment) benefits arising from becoming a leading global
centre focused on data driven fintech innovation.
FinTech Scotland’s objectives are to develop an innovative community of fintech firms, generate impactful collaborations
between firms of all sizes and foster an inclusive cluster which is globally recognised.
FinTech Scotland was initially founded in January 2018 as a joint initiative by Lloyds Banking Group, HSBC, University of
Edinburgh, Scottish Government and Scottish Enterprise. The organisation is now supported by a broad range of global
financial services, technology and professional services firms as well as University of Edinburgh and University of
Strathclyde, the Financial Conduct Authority, Scottish Government and Scottish Enterprise
In January 2020, FinTech Scotland was formally recognised for the development for the fintech cluster in Scotland and
accredited with the bronze label for Cluster Management Excellence by the European Secretariat for Cluster Analysis.
