Firm joins the Bank of England’s FinTech Accelerator Community
The Bank of England FinTech Accelerator has launched a new community, bringing together FinTech-related organisations to engage with the bank, share insights on trends and support the development of the sector.
Simmons & Simmons’ head of FinTech, Angus McLean, is the only industry expert from the legal sector to be part of the new community.
The Accelerator was launched in June 2016. The community has been set up to: share developments, trends and insights to facilitate learning and understanding across the sector and within the bank; ensure the bank is engaging with a range of FinTech firms from across the sector; and increase networking across firms with an interest in FinTech to support the development of the sector.
Angus commented: “We are delighted to be part of the bank's new FinTech community. The bank has taken a leading role in engaging with and supporting the UK's FinTech sector. The establishment of the community is another strong sign of the bank's commitment to the UK's FinTech ecosystem. We are looking forward to collaborating with the bank's FinTech team and the other members of the community on this important initiative."
