Supporting the Future of Home Ownership: PEXA Partners with FinTech North for 2026



FinTech North is delighted to announce the renewal of our partnership with PEXA, the FinTech behind the world’s first digital property exchange process, as we continue working together to champion regional innovation and strengthen the UK’s financial infrastructure.

Following a successful year in which PEXA spoke at our flagship Leeds Conference on the future of home ownership and joined the Whitecap Consulting North of England FinTech Report Launch, our collaboration in 2026 will continue to highlight PEXA’s role as critical infrastructure in the UK’s financial services ecosystem.

Through 2026, our partnership will include:

– Brand sponsorship of the FinTech North Leeds Conference 2026 in Q2, featuring a key speaking role on the day

– Headline sponsorship of a virtual event focused on mortgages, lenders, payments, and financial services

– Speaking roles at our events across the year

– Continuing to highlight PEXA’s thought leadership and news to the FinTech North community, including short-form video content

This continued collaboration underscores our shared commitment to supporting the North’s role in shaping the future of financial services, fostering collaboration between global innovators and the UK’s dynamic regional FinTech hubs.

We’re proud to continue working with PEXA – a trusted partner whose focus on innovation, digital transformation, and customer-centric infrastructure aligns closely with our mission to connect, share, and celebrate FinTech across the North and beyond.

Simon Wright, Chief Operating Officer, PEXA UK:

‘Renewing our partnership with FinTech North is a natural step for us. Leeds is our UK home, and the North has the energy and expertise to accelerate the collaboration that helps us realise our goals; to work with lenders and conveyancers to help build the infrastructure that will make completions more certain, secure and efficient. In 2026 we’ll continue investing in the region – supporting FinTech North’s programme and contributing at the Leeds Conference and other events – so progress made in the North can help set the pace for the whole UK.’

Joe Roche, General Manager, FinTech North: 

‘We’re delighted to continue collaborating with PEXA across 2026 as they expand their impact in the UK and Northern FinTech ecosystem. Supporting their journey and seeing them become an integral part of the Leeds and wider FinTech community has been fantastic. As specialists in digital property exchange, and with Leeds as a key hub for home ownership, their role as critical infrastructure makes them an invaluable partner for the region and beyond.’
