10+ years connecting
fintech suppliers
with enterprise buyers.

FinTech Connect is where financial institutions come to find partners. Banks, financial institutions and enterprise teams attend to evaluate solutions, compare providers, and move projects forward.

For exhibitors, this creates a rare environment: a concentrated audience of senior buyers, actively in-market, across two days. It's not a passive audience. It's a live commercial environment.

In 2026, the event expands further with a dedicated Corporate Finance and Treasury audience, bringing CFOs and finance transformation leaders into the same space.

Why FinTech Connect

What you get that
no other event delivers.

Most events give you visibility. FinTech Connect gives you access to buyers who are actively evaluating solutions.

🎯
The whole buying team, not one delegate
Banks send coordinated teams across technology, payments, risk and compliance. You meet the Group CIO, the Head of Payments and the CISO in the same two days - not over six months of separate diary requests.
🏗️
Seven tracks aligned to the mandates you sell into
Digital Assets & Tokenisation. Payments Innovation. Financial Security & Compliance (RegTech). AI in Finance. Digital Transformation. Corporate Finance Innovation. FinTech Marketing & Growth. Each track is a concentrated pool of attendees with a specific function mandate. Your stand is positioned next to the people who need what you sell.
🎤
Thought leadership that opens doors
Sponsorship packages include speaking opportunities, panel participation and content partnership. Position your team as practitioners alongside regulators and bank executives - not as vendors presenting to a half-empty room.
📋
Qualified pipeline, not raw badge data
FinTech Connect's hosted meetings programme and Engagement Pathways mean your stand receives visitors who have been matched to your solution category before they arrive - not random foot traffic.
The home of financial innovation

7 tracks. 250+ speakers.
Every major topic in financial services.

Each track brings together a concentrated group of buyers with a shared mandate - and puts them within reach of your stand.

Wrapping up Day 2 with a deeper appreciation for the vibrancy of the UK and European financial ecosystem. The conversations, the curiosity, and the connections. The momentum here is real.

I normally speak about AI and governance at risk and model management events, so it was great to see such a collaborative and engaged audience at FinTech Connect.

Ratul Ahmed Group Head of Model Risk Management and Validation, Commerzbank

Across 7 stages, senior leaders explore how to modernise core systems, scale AI, navigate regulation, strengthen security and deploy emerging technologies in production. Sponsorship and speaking packages let your team be part of those conversations - not just present in the building.
