The Scottish Government was one of the driving forces behind the creation of FinTech Scotland. The Financial Services Advisory Board, chaired by the First Minister established the need for an independent organisation to maximise Scotland’s fintech potential. The Scottish Government is committed to supporting the development of a thriving fintech ecosystem.

“We have provided FinTech Scotland with £250,000 over the next two years to leverage further industry and academic support to realise our ambition to see Scotland in the top 10 international Fintech centres by 2021.”
