The sector’s success, especially outside the capital, is critical for regional growth and a more balanced national economy. That's why Pulsant is proud to sponsor Whitecap Consulting's new North of England Fintech Report 2025 - the first ever analysis of the FinTech sector across the North of England, spanning three of the eight regions of England outside London.
The report highlights the strength of the FinTech sector in the North of England, identifying nearly 400 firms employing 20,000 people and contributing £1.5 billion in GVA. Including FinTech roles within broader finance and tech sectors, the regional workforce rises to almost 70,000.
In addition to outlining a set of recommendations for key stakeholders across the public, private, and education sectors, the report highlights five ‘big ideas’ that could substantially accelerate sector growth and enhance its national and international profile. These include proposed pan-northern initiatives such as a FinTech Accelerator, FinTech Investment Fund, FinTech Innovation Challenge, FinTech Placements Programme, and a Financial Services Reskilling Programme.
