The fintech ecosystem is one of the most exciting and dynamic industries in the UK. Our Fintech Investment team is helping to bring the benefits that these innovative companies provide to the Group and our customers and clients, while supporting the sector to grow.

Why fintech investments?

Fintech (financial technology) is revolutionising the ways we think about and interact with our money. Recent years have seen the arrival of contactless payments, blockchain and Open Banking. With over 2,500 fintech companies in the UK, the industry is a real success story for British business. 

An important part of our strategy at Lloyds Banking Group is to target investments in companies and technologies that create value. We want to harness the dynamism and creativity in the sector, and bring it into what we do every day to support our customers and clients.

Our approach

We build the bridge between the needs of our business and personal customers, and the fintech community.

Our team looks to take minority equity stakes in early-stage fintechs – from Seed to Series B – to help accelerate the Group’s pace of change, and help us look further forward than we have before.

This represents a cultural step-change for the Group, as we look to emulate the speed and energy of the fintech sector.
