Supporting the FinTech Community

Scotland has its roots in financial services and is establishing itself as a FinTech hub. The CMS FinTech team works alongside clients at all stages of their lifecycle. We understand FinTech clients, working with many of our existing clients in this space when they were start-ups or scale-ups.

We are leading advisors in FinTech, electronic money, distributed ledger technology, artificial intelligence, cyber security, privacy, and the use of social media by financial institutions.

The FinTech ecosystem in Scotland continues to grow at pace, and CMS is committed to supporting Scotland's world class FinTechs. We were delighted to be the headline sponsor at the 2023 FinTech Summit.

The current economic climate remains challenging but also provides real opportunities for FinTechs to disrupt the market and deliver on value, solutions, and innovation for their customers.
