The UK is a world leader in Fintech, and attracted $3.6 billion of investment in 2025, second only to the US. The Government is committed to making the UK the world’s most technologically advanced global financial centre and remaining a leading jurisdiction for Fintech firms to start-up, scale and list.

The Government’s Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy set out a comprehensive package of reforms to preserve the UK’s leadership in this area, including streamlining the regulatory environment and initiatives to support UK Fintechs to scale up.
