CFIT is partnering with some of the world’s leading financial institutions, fintech companies and industry bodies in our drive to scale financial innovation.
CFIT is leading the drive to expand and scale the UK’s position as a global leader in financial innovation. Our aim is to unblock the barriers that are prohibiting growth in financial technology by bringing together the best minds from across the UK to identify the challenges and create the solutions that can unlock the UK’s financial innovation potential. With a regional levelling-up agenda, CFIT’s work will create a national drive that can create regional growth opportunities, whilst driving a positive impact for individuals, business and the UK economy.
CFIT will achieve its aims through bringing together a dynamic and purpose driven collaboration of industry experts committed to driving tangible change in the financial technology sector. Labelled the CFIT Coalition Model, this approach will allow us to bring together the brightest minds and thought leaders from across the UK to undertake research-led work that will identify the complex challenges and innovative solutions that have a real-world impact for UK consumers and beyond.

We focus on building new strategic partnerships to enable the industry to unblock barriers to innovation.
