Aussie fintech firms head to London
Two fintech providers operating in the wealth management space will head to London later this year to meet with other global providers as part of a UK government sponsored trade mission.
Online investment and fund management advisory services provider Stockspot and financial services software provider Rubik are part of 10 Australian firms selected to attend a trade fair taking place as part of London Fintech Week.
The fintech providers were selected by UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) Australia as those groups most likely to benefit from the mission and with a high probability of the UK featuring in their expansion plans.
Consul General and Director General for UKTI Australia & New Zealand, Nick McInnes said it had been working with the Australian fintech community to encourage growing companies to consider the UK in their expansion plans.
