FinTech and Ecosystems
EY teams work with FinTechs to drive robust and sustainable growth – setting strategy, building new value propositions and addressing a wide range of business challenges. The aim is to bring the best of EY teams to FinTech firms and the best of FinTech to the wider financial services market.
What EY FinTech services can do for you
FinTechs are essential to the future of an innovative and thriving financial services sector. We are focused on – and investing boldly in – their success in our roles as strategic advisers, capable operators, passionate advocates and relationship builders.
In supporting the FinTech market, we:
- Help early-stage FinTechs start strong with practical advice and connections that lay foundations for rapid growth
- Engage scale-up FinTechs for smarter growth, with advice, solutions and alliances that support innovation and reduce risk
- Facilitate impactful connections between investors, established financial services firms, FinTechs and RegTechs with the most promising offerings and greatest growth potential
- Work with established firms and investors interested in exploring the benefits of working with FinTech and RegTech firms
For FinTechs, scalable and sustainable growth requires access to the right resources, stakeholders and partners, and market opportunities at the right time. That includes connections with established banks, insurers and wealth and asset managers that engage FinTechs to transform key operations and processes.
The combination of FinTechs’ innovative solutions and established organizations’ scale promises to create a more customer-centric, inclusive and prosperous industry. To improve the impact, FinTechs must have a plan to scale-up sustainably, and large firms need a clear strategy and strong implementation capabilities.
While FinTechs have demonstrated impressive growth in recent years, they must continue to evolve and innovate for future growth. The next few years will see profound changes in business models across financial services, as technology advances and customer expectations rise. The EY organization aspires to continue to be the adviser of choice for a range of market players that want to maximize their growth potential.
