FinTech for Schools
Supporting talent and skills in FinTech is one of our key priorities. We recognise this is one of the biggest issues for our FinTech community. Our FinTech for Schools Experience aims to provide a diverse range of ways to get involved and to inspire the current and next generation of innovators.
Our Vision
How can you get involved?
Our vision is to create a journey that showcases industry role models, promotes financial education, but also provides interactive content in order to learn the basics of the new and exciting opportunities available in this sector. The programme will be delivered through engagement with schools and online media channels. We want to give young people the opportunity to access and interact with the content through their mobile devices. In a future phase, we would look to offer some form of training accreditation and work placement programme with existing FinTech Companies.
As the FinTech sector continues to grow, so will the need for talent. We therefore want to encourage the broadest talent at an early age to consider the potential career options across the FinTech industry and raise awareness about the continued growth within the sector.

FinTech for Schools App
Developed together with Deloitte, our FinTech for Schools App is the one-stop destination to understand how the latest technology is driving the FinTech world. You’ll learn how mobile payments work, how your data is really used and exciting things such as how FinTech uses artificial intelligence and what the future of money is.


FinTech Masterclasses
Our mini FinTech Masterclass videos delivered by industry experts provide an educational overview on some of the hottest trends in FinTech. An introduction to investing, saving, credit, pensions and more. Learn about various careers on offer and understand what the different branches of FinTech actually do. Our FinTech Masterclasses will provide valuable insights on subjects that matter to you, delivered in an easy digestible format.
