The tech world is fast moving, innovation is a necessity and being small and agile is the reason this business is at the top of their game. Similarly, the speed of growth and innovation in FinTech and alternative finance has been phenomenal in the last two years.

With an unrivalled combination of talent, connectivity and status as one of the world’s leading financial centres, London is uniquely placed to drive innovation in this sector for years to come. As the fourth largest peer-to-peer lender, and the largest peer-to-peer invoice finance provider, we are at the heart of this drive bringing the world of finance into the 21st century.
