Fintech: Latest UK Legal and Regulatory Trends

A lot has happened since Rishi Sunak delivered these words six months ago, but the sentiment behind them remains as strong as ever. As it finally starts to emerge from Brexit, the UK is seeking to capitalise on its new-found freedom. Covid-19 continues to act as a catalyst for the rapid development of innovative financial solutions. And the UK remains one of the most receptive markets for Fintech – with record levels of investment and a consumer adoption rate that exceeds the global average.
