Gareth Jones is quoted in an informative report published by Innovate Finance on the current state of fintech, and outlook for the future. This report, which starts with the overarching question of have we reached the bottom yet and when will we start to see the upturn, provides the numbers and analysis behind the headlines, takes a deeper dive into the latest investment trends in global and UK FinTech, and offers an outlook for 2025. The analysis benefits from input and observations from Innovate Finance’s investor and VC members.
“U.S. investment trends in financial services during 2024 marked a pivotal moment post-Zero-Interest-Rate-Policy, as B2B, GenAI, and enterprise SaaS demonstrated their transformative potential in enhancing efficiency and scalability. With c.44% of finance job functions exposed to AI—compared to 32% across other industries—GenAI and intelligent agents are poised to remain dominant themes in 2025. The incoming Republican administration will likely introduce deregulation across the industry, fostering a more permissive environment for crypto and unlocking broader innovation across financial services.” – Gareth Jones Founder and CEO, FinTech Collective
