The three agencies responsible for driving Jersey’s fintech agenda have come together under a collective banner supported by a new website.
Jersey for Fintech, established by Digital Jersey, Jersey Finance and Locate Jersey, has been launched to present a unified vision of the island’s fintech ambitions and promote Jersey as a location for fintech firms to establish, grow and flourish.
It will highlight Jersey’s fintech credentials to an international audience through joint events and conferences, as well as a new Jersey for Fintech website and publication.
The initiative aims to bring new tech business to the island, promote existing tech businesses off-island, and grow the sector locally to provide the local finance industry with more on-island choice.
Tony Moretta (pictured), CEO of Digital Jersey, commented: “With the digital agenda in overdrive since the start of the global pandemic, there is an increased focus not just on piecemeal tech-solutions, but innovations that will disrupt the international finance industry for the positive.
"Our connectivity, supportive regulator and government, and growing skills base boosted by an on-island digital skills academy, means we are ideally placed to be a one-stop-shop testbed for new technologies.”
Richard Corrigan, Group Director – Financial Services and Digital Economy, Government of Jersey, added: “Locate Jersey, Digital Jersey and Jersey Finance retain strong brands and familiarity on-island and in our target markets.
"When it comes to fintech, the combination of expertise in showcasing Jersey’s fintech proposition is strengthened through collaboration and showcasing to the world that Jersey is open for fintech business with a breadth of expertise to support different needs.”
