The ABC Of Fintech: Acquisitions, Brexit And Collaboration

Mayer Brown is pleased to present The ABC of Fintech: Acquisitions, Brexit and Collaboration, in association with Mergermarket.

The financial services sector has always been at the forefront of innovation, from new products and services to developing new markets and harnessing new technologies. The emergence of fintech presents interesting and potentially long-lasting opportunities.

The study, which canvassed the opinions of 120 senior executives at UK-headquartered financial services and fintech companies, looks at how the two are planning to work together in the coming years, and whether regulation and geopolitical volatility will hold them back.

Key highlights include:

Financial services and fintech firms are set to become close friends in the next three years: 49% of financial services firms say they expect to engage in a joint venture with a fintech firm in the next three years, while 26% say they expect to acquire a fintech firm over the same period.
