Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest and Santander have already signed the pledge, the key principles of which require them to provide clear guidance to technology firms on the onboarding process.
Launched by Tech Nation with support from HM Treasury, the Fintech Pledge is designed to boost the sector by helping to establish efficient and transparent commercial partnerships between banks and fintech firms. The banks will - within six months of signing the pledge - provide a dedicated landing page and a named contact, as well as guidance and feedback to firms looking for partnerships. John Glen, Economic Secretary to the Treasury says: “The UK is already the best place in the world to start and grow a Fintech, and we’re committed to that remaining the case as our economy bounces back. So I welcome the Fintech Pledge from some of our leading banks and look forward to more firms becoming signatories.” Meanwhile, Tech Nation's Fintech Delivery Panel has added representatives from Monzo, Transferwire, OakNorth and Atom.
