The Institute of Directors (IoD) has launched a finance and FinTech special interest group in London.
Aimed at “bringing the world of finance and FinTech closer to everyone”, the new group aims to connect likeminded individuals in the world of finance and FinTech to facilitate the sharing of knowledge, opportunities and ideas.
The group also said it wants to create a platform and voice to influence the IoD policy teams and opinion leaders across the industry.
“FinTech contributes significantly to the UK economy and generates over 80,000 jobs,” said John McLean OBE, chair for IoD City of London. “In a time when global UK is starting to find its feet, I believe that the IoD’s FinTech group can contribute to our country.”
Yvonne de Ville, chair of the IoD finance and FinTech group, said: “Often the headlines about FinTech successes focus on London-based firms; however, FinTech as a sector is growing across the United Kingdom.”
She continued: “Therefore, its only logical to have the IoD Finance and FinTech group as a centre of excellence for leaders and entrepreneurs who share this common interest and passion.”
