There should be no mistake. Financial technology (fintech) is fundamentally transforming the old world of financial services. Change is already well underway, but we are currently witnessing the genesis of a new industry which will almost entirely replace the one we have at present.

Modern banking was born in London in the 18th century, and the UK and its capital are once again at the very heart of this latest revolution. Three hundred years ago, it’s fair to say that the need for gender equality, and wider diversity in fact, within financial services was not keeping anyone awake. This helped create the male-dominated industry we have today, where it’s taken until 2019 to see the first female CEO of the UK’s big four banks.
