FinTech North and RSM renew partnership to support regional innovation and growth in 2026
FinTech North is delighted to announce the renewal of our partnership with RSM UK for 2026. Having worked together since 2018, RSM has been one of our longest-standing partners and a consistent champion of innovation, collaboration, and growth across the northern FinTech ecosystem.
Over the past eight years, our partnership has helped shape conversations around the future of financial services in the North – connecting leaders, fostering insight, and promoting the strength of the region’s FinTech community.
Throughout 2025, RSM has continued to demonstrate thought leadership across several of our flagship and monthly events, taking a lead on topics including regulation, risk, regional growth, partnerships and payments. This year, their experts have shared valuable perspectives at a range of FinTech North events, including our Decoding DORA: the Road to Resilience webinar, our flagship Liverpool Conference, Whitecap Consulting’s North of England FinTech report launch, our Northern FinTech Summit, and our flagship Manchester Conference.
As we look ahead to 2026, our renewed partnership will continue to deliver insightful thought leadership, engaging events, and opportunities for collaboration across the UK’s financial innovation landscape. Together, FinTech North and RSM will further explore emerging themes in regulation, risk, payments, and data, helping businesses navigate an evolving digital and regulatory environment while supporting sustainable growth.
We’re proud to continue our journey with RSM UK – trusted partners and long-standing friends of FinTech North – as we work together to strengthen the regional and national FinTech ecosystem, empower collaboration, and celebrate the innovation that defines our community.
