Welcome - FinTech Connect 2026

10+ Years of Connecting Fintech Suppliers with Enterprise Buyers

A Proven Platform for Fintech Growth

For over a decade, FinTech Connect has helped fintech and technology providers accelerate growth by connecting them directly with enterprise buyers and decision-makers.

This is not a one-off conference. It’s a proven commercial platform where brands launch, partnerships form, and pipelines are built year after year.

Exhibitors return because the audience is relevant, senior, and actively evaluating solutions that will shape their next 12–24 months.

Buyer-Driven Content & Thought Leadership

FinTech Connect’s conference programme is designed around the real priorities of banks, financial institutions and enterprise fintech teams.

Across multiple stages, senior leaders explore how to modernise core systems, scale AI, navigate regulation, strengthen security and deploy emerging technologies in production.

For exhibitors and sponsors, this creates a powerful opportunity to align your brand with the conversations buyers are already having internally.

High-Intent Meetings That Convert

FinTech Connect is built for meaningful, high-quality meetings not accidental networking.

From structured meeting areas and dedicated networking zones to an AI-powered event app, the show is designed to help exhibitors and attendees identify the right people and get straight to business.

It’s where introductions turn into follow-ups, follow-ups turn into pilots, and conversations continue long after the show closes.

'There was a great buzz at FinTech Connect earlier this week. Our stand was continuously busy over the two days with lots of great engagement from the local fintech community.

When people come across us for the first time, they're excited and really supportive of our ambition. It speaks to the incredible identity our brand has and the potential for us to build something great.

We're early in our journey as a fully regulated UK bank but our proposition resonates strongly with the community we serve and, with the efforts of our team to continuously improve and expand our capabilities, the sky is the limit...

The event has me feeling really energised as we look ahead to the new year!'
