Why Chicago is the best city to launch a fintech company

Ranked as a top five global fintech hub by Deloitte, Chicago's deep capital markets foundation (CME, OptionsHouse, Morningstar, Citadel) and compliance talent is helping the city set itself apart from the pack. 

However, just because we are on strong footing now doesn't mean that it will always be the case; other cities are gunning for us. Our city and state leaders need to arrest the outward migration that could be taking key talent away from Chicago. And industry leaders could more willingly embrace and support collaboration as spearheaded by groups like Currency, which can foster best practices and lessen the learning curve. Now is not the time to be complacent. After all, there are still four cities above us on the global fintech ranking.
