Private Investment in Global FinTech Companies ($bn)

“Silicon Valley is coming. There are hundreds of start-ups

with a lot of brains and money working on various

alternatives to traditional banking.” - Jamie Dimon

FinTech investments have grown exponentially: $19bn in

2015 was up two-thirds from $12bn in 2014. By client

segment, Consumer and SME are the focus (73%). By

product, Marketplace/P2P lending (46%) and Payments

(23%) dominate FinTech dollars invested.

B2C dominates due to changing consumer behaviour, the

smartphone revolution and lower switching costs. Future

investment into B2B could grow.

Different is Better than Cheaper

For FinTech Competitive Edge, Different and Capital Light is Key

Not all FinTech new entrants will have a sustainable

competitive advantage. Many FinTech companies may be

better or lower cost than banks rather than different.

Companies that are different rather than having a lower

cost to serve are more likely to maintain their competitive

edge for longer.

Different does not need to be technologically different. It

can be a different target market (iZettle) or a new business

model (Credit Karma or Funding Circle).

A lower cost business model can – for a period of time – be

a form of a differentiation. But lower cost models may get

copied faster by competitors and incumbents.

Banks’ have a natural advantage in capital intensive

products. Most plain vanilla retail and corporate banking is

capital intensive and relatively low cost.

Activities that are capital light (credit scoring, payments,

P2P lending as an agent not principal) are more likely to be

disrupted by new digital business models

Phones versus Bank Accounts: the EM Opportunity

Mapping the Risk of Digital Disruption

Underdeveloped banking systems. Emerging markets

such as China, India and Philippines have a large

unbanked/underbanked population. Consumer banking is

often underdeveloped in many emerging markets.

High level of smart phone penetration. Some countries

such as China and Malaysia have smart phone penetration

on par with DM counterparts. Others may have fewer smart

phones but a lot of mobile phones eg India, Africa.

Dominant position of technology or telecom giants. Ant

Financial (owner of Alipay) benefits from Alibaba’s e-

commerce ecosystem. Mobile Money’s success in Kenya

is a result of Safaricom’s dominant market share (~70%).

Pragmatic regulatory environment. China had limited

regulation around online payment and P2P lending until

recently. Kenya’s regulatory environment was conducive to

the success of M-Pesa over the past decade.

Policy Matters. Government policy can foster a positive

environment for FinTech growth. See India government’s

J.A.M initiative (Jan Dhan – financial inclusion, Aadhaar –

National Identity Card and Mobile).

At the Tipping Point in the West, Past the Tipping Point in China

Sub 1% of North America Consumer Banking Revenues are on New Digital Business Model

US (or European) consumer banking is at the early stages

of the disruption cycle. Currently only c1% of North

American consumer banking revenues have migrated to

new digital business models but this could accelerate.

China, led by tech giants such as Alibaba and Tencent, is

well past the tipping point. China’s e-commerce system is

the largest in the world (40% of GMV, 2015). Alipay’s total

payment value in 2015 was over 3x PayPal in 2015.

For Chinese banks, earnings lost to FinTech innovators

may be only a small part of the existing profit pool, but it is

an opportunity lost to a big and growing market segment.

BATs Provide a Roadmap for GAFA

GAFA vs BAT

BATs are ahead of GAFAs when it comes to expanding to financial

services (higher market share).

Due to early entrance. Alipay and Tenpay were created over a decade

ago. Google was the first to venture into payments among GAFAs in

2011, seven years after Alipay.

Finance is strategically important for the BATs. In a country with a

relatively underdeveloped consumer banking system, payment is now

seen as core to their online to offline (O2O) strategy.

GAFAs operate in an existing well developed consumer payments

system and financial services are not as strategically important as it is

for BATs.

Amazon is more likely to be a major player in financial services due to

its focus on e-commerce.

Android Pay and Apple Pay are part of Google and Apple’s broader

strategy to further enhance customer stickiness to their OS ecosystem.

Payment Leaders in the west include PayPal, Buy rated, due to

exposure to rapidly growing online payment; Visa and Master Card,

both Buy Rated, because of solid market position, trend of cash to

electronic payments.

Western Union, Sell rated, is most at risk due to potential pressure on

remittance volumes and margin from increased FinTech competition.

Diminishing Return of Physical Assets

Commercial Bank Branches Per 100k Adults By Region

“The number of branches and people may decline by as much as 50% over the

next years" - Antony Jenkins, the former CEO of Barclays

Northern Europe has already done a lot — Nordic and Dutch banks have cut total

branch levels by around 50% from recent peak levels.

The US banks on average appear to be about 5 years behind European banks

who are in turn about a decade behind the Nordic banks.

“Over the past one year, US banks have started to cut back, as they have realized

that interest rates are unlikely to increase any time soon… some banks in the US

will more than halve their branches over the next 5 years” - Citi GPS Report:

We Are At the Tipping Point of FTE Reduction

FTE in European banks is down 11% since 2008 crisis and down 5% for US banks

(2% per annum).

We see another ~30% reduction in staff next decade with a 3% decline per year

– Driven by automation: Branches and associated staff costs make up about

65% of the total retail cost base of a larger bank and a lot of these costs can be

removed via automation.

– Focus on Return in a Low Growth & Low Rate Environment: For countries

that have gone through a more severe financial crisis and consolidation FTE

reduction ranges between 3%-5% per year.

If multiple AC analysts are designated in the author block, each analyst is certifying with respect to the entire research report other than (a) content attributable to another AC certifying analyst listed in bold alongside the content and (b) views expressed solely with respect to a specific issuer which are attributable to another AC certifying analyst identified in the price charts or rating history tables for that issuer shown below. Each of these analysts certify, with respect to the sections of the report for which they are responsible: (1) that the views expressed therein accurately reflect their personal views about each issuer and security referenced and were prepared in an independent manner, including with respect to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and its affiliates; and (2) no part of the research analyst's compensation was, is, or will be, directly or indirectly, related to the specific recommendations or views expressed by that research analyst in this report.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES

Disclosure for investors in the Republic of Turkey: Under Capital Markets Law of Turkey (Law No: 6362), the investment information, comments and advices given herein are not part of investment advisory activity. Investment advisory services are provided by authorized institutions to persons and entities privately by considering their risk and return preferences. Whereas the comments and advices included herein are of general nature. Therefore, they may not fit to your financial situation and risk and return preferences. For this reason, making an investment decision only by relying on the information given herein may not give rise to results that fit your expectations. Furthermore, Citi Research is a division of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Firm”), which does and seeks to do business with companies and/or trades on securities covered in this research reports. As a result, investors should be aware that the Firm may have a conflict of interest that could affect the objectivity of this report.

Analysts’ compensation is determined by Citi Research management and Citigroup’s senior management and is based upon activities and services intended to benefit the investor clients of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and its affiliates (the “Firm”). Compensation is not linked to specific transactions or recommendations. Like all Firm employees, analysts receive compensation that is impacted by overall Firm profitability which includes investment banking, sales and trading, and principal trading revenues. One factor in equity research analyst compensation is arranging corporate access events between institutional clients and the management teams of covered companies. Typically, company management is more likely to participate when the analyst has a positive view of the company.

For securities recommended in the Product in which the Firm is not a market maker, the Firm is a liquidity provider in the issuers' financial instruments and may act as principal in connection with such transactions. The Firm is a regular issuer of traded financial instruments linked to securities that may have been recommended in the Product. The Firm regularly trades in the securities of the issuer(s) discussed in the Product. The Firm may engage in securities transactions in a manner inconsistent with the Product and, with respect to securities covered by the Product, will buy or sell from customers on a principal basis.

Citi Research Equity Ratings Distribution 12 Month Rating Data current as of 30 Sep 2016 Buy Hold Sell

Citi Research Global Fundamental Coverage 47% 39% 14% % of companies in each rating category that are investment banking clients 66% 61% 60%

Guide to Citi Research Fundamental Research Investment Ratings: Citi Research stock recommendations include an investment rating and an optional risk rating to highlight high risk stocks. Risk rating takes into account both price volatility and fundamental criteria. Stocks will either have no risk rating or a High risk rating assigned. Investment Ratings: Citi Research investment ratings are Buy, Neutral and Sell. Our ratings are a function of analyst expectations of expected total return ("ETR") and risk. ETR is the sum of the forecast price appreciation (or depreciation) plus the dividend yield for a stock within the next 12 months. The Investment rating definitions are: Buy (1) ETR of 15% or more or 25% or more for High risk stocks; and Sell (3) for negative ETR. Any covered stock not assigned a Buy or a Sell is a Neutral (2). For stocks rated Neutral (2), if an analyst believes that there are insufficient valuation drivers and/or investment catalysts to derive a positive or negative investment view, they may elect with the approval of Citi Research management not to assign a target price and, thus, not derive an ETR. Analysts may place covered stocks "Under Review" in response to exceptional circumstances (e.g. lack of information critical to the analyst's thesis) affecting the company and / or trading in the company's securities (e.g. trading suspension). As soon as practically possible, the analyst will publish a note re-establishing a rating and investment thesis. To satisfy regulatory requirements, we correspond Under Review and Neutral to Hold in our ratings distribution table for our 12-month fundamental rating system. However, we reiterate that we do not consider Under Review to be a recommendation. Investment ratings are determined by the ranges described above at the time of initiation of coverage, a change in investment and/or risk rating, or a change in target price (subject to limited management discretion). At other times, the expected total returns may fall outside of these ranges because of market price movements and/or other short-term volatility or trading patterns. Such interim deviations from specified ranges will be permitted but will become subject to review by Research Management. Your decision to buy or sell a security should be based upon your personal investment objectives and should be made only after evaluating the stock's expected performance and risk.

Prior to May 1, 2014 Citi Research may have also assigned a three-month relative call (or rating) to a stock to highlight expected out-performance (most preferred) or under-performance (least preferred) versus the geographic and industry sector over a 3 month period. The relative call may have highlighted a specific near-term catalyst or event impacting the company or the market that was anticipated to have a short-term price impact on the equity securities of the company. Absent any specific catalyst the analyst(s) may have indicated the most and least preferred stocks in the universe of stocks under consideration, explaining the basis for this short-term view. This three-month view may have been different from and did not affect a stock's fundamental equity rating, which reflected a longer-term total absolute return expectation.

NON-US RESEARCH ANALYST DISCLOSURES Non-US research analysts who have prepared this report (i.e., all research analysts listed below other than those identified as employed by Citigroup Global Markets Inc.) are not registered/qualified as research analysts with FINRA. Such research analysts may not be associated persons of the member organization and therefore may not be subject to the FINRA Rule 2241 restrictions on communications with a subject company, public appearances and trading securities held by a research analyst account. The legal entities employing the authors of this report are listed below:

OTHER DISCLOSURES

Any price(s) of instruments quoted are as of the prior day’s market close on the primary market for the instrument unless otherwise stated.

30

European regulations require that where a recommendation differs from any of the author’s previous recommendations concerning the same financial instrument or issuer that has been published during the preceding 12-month period that the change(s) and the date of that previous recommendation are indicated. For fundamental coverage please refer to the price chart or rating change history within this disclosure appendix or the issuer disclosure summary at https://www.citivelocity.com/cvr/eppublic/citi_research_disclosures.

European regulations require that a firm must establish, implement and make available a policy for managing conflicts of interest arising as a result of publication or distribution of investment research. The policy applicable to Citi Research's Products can be found at https://www.citivelocity.com/cvr/eppublic/citi_research_disclosures.

The proportion of all Citi Research fundamental research recommendations that were the equivalent to “Buy”,”Hold”,”Sell” at the end of each quarter over the prior 12 months (with the % of these that were at the time investment banking clients shown in brackets) is as follows: Q2 2016 Buy 31% (45%), Hold 45% (40%), Sell 24% (38%); Q1 2016 Buy 31% (46%), Hold 45% (40%), Sell 24% (39%); Q4 2015 Buy 31% (45%), Hold 45% (39%), Sell 24% (40%); Q3 2015 Buy 32% (47%), Hold 44% (40%), Sell 24% (36%).

Citigroup Global Markets India Private Limited and/or its affiliates may have, from time to time, actual or beneficial ownership of 1% or more in the debt securities of the subject issuer.

Citi Research generally disseminates its research to the Firm’s global institutional and retail clients via both proprietary (e.g., Citi Velocity and Citi Personal Wealth Management) and non-proprietary electronic distribution platforms. Certain research may be disseminated only via the Firm’s proprietary distribution platforms; however such research will not contain changes to earnings forecasts, target price, investment or risk rating or investment thesis or be otherwise inconsistent with the author’s previously published research. Certain research is made available only to institutional investors to satisfy regulatory requirements. Individual Citi Research analysts may also opt to circulate published research to one or more clients by email; such email distribution is discretionary and is done only after the research has been disseminated. The level and types of services provided by Citi Research analysts to clients may vary depending on various factors such as the client’s individual preferences as to the frequency and manner of receiving communications from analysts, the client’s risk profile and investment focus and perspective (e.g. market-wide, sector specific, long term, short-term etc.), the size and scope of the overall client relationship with the Firm and legal and regulatory constraints.

Pursuant to Comissão de Valores Mobiliários Rule 483, Citi is required to disclose whether a Citi related company or business has a commercial relationship with the subject company. Considering that Citi operates multiple businesses in more than 100 countries around the world, it is likely that Citi has a commercial relationship with the subject company.

Securities recommended, offered, or sold by the Firm: (i) are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; (ii) are not deposits or other obligations of any insured depository institution (including Citibank); and (iii) are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. The Product is for informational purposes only and is not intended as an offer or solicitation for the purchase or sale of a security. Any decision to purchase securities mentioned in the Product must take into account existing public information on such security or any registered prospectus. Although information has been obtained from and is based upon sources that the Firm believes to be reliable, we do not guarantee its accuracy and it may be incomplete and condensed. Note, however, that the Firm has taken all reasonable steps to determine the accuracy and completeness of the disclosures made in the Important Disclosures section of the Product. The Firm's research department has received assistance from the subject company(ies) referred to in this Product including, but not limited to, discussions with management of the subject company(ies). Firm policy prohibits research analysts from sending draft research to subject companies. However, it should be presumed that the author of the Product has had discussions with the subject company to ensure factual accuracy prior to publication. All opinions, projections and estimates constitute the judgment of the author as of the date of the Product and these, plus any other information contained in the Product, are subject to change without notice. Prices and availability of financial instruments also are subject to change without notice. Notwithstanding other departments within the Firm advising the companies discussed in this Product, information obtained in such role is not used in the preparation of the Product. Although Citi Research does not set a predetermined frequency for publication, if the Product is a fundamental equity or credit research report, it is the intention of Citi Research to provide research coverage of the covered issuers, including in response to news affecting the issuer. For non-fundamental research reports, Citi Research may not provide regular updates to the views, recommendations and facts included in the reports. Notwithstanding that Citi Research maintains coverage on, makes recommendations concerning or discusses issuers, Citi Research may be periodically restricted from referencing certain issuers due to legal or policy reasons. Citi Research may provide different

31

research products and services to different classes of customers (for example, based upon long-term or short-term investment horizons) that may lead to differing conclusions or recommendations that could impact the price of a security contrary to the recommendations in the alternative research product, provided that each is consistent with the rating system for each respective product.

Investing in non-U.S. securities, including ADRs, may entail certain risks. The securities of non-U.S. issuers may not be registered with, nor be subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. There may be limited information available on foreign securities. Foreign companies are generally not subject to uniform audit and reporting standards, practices and requirements comparable to those in the U.S. Securities of some foreign companies may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In addition, exchange rate movements may have an adverse effect on the value of an investment in a foreign stock and its corresponding dividend payment for U.S. investors. Net dividends to ADR investors are estimated, using withholding tax rates conventions, deemed accurate, but investors are urged to consult their tax advisor for exact dividend computations. Investors who have received the Product from the Firm may be prohibited in certain states or other jurisdictions from purchasing securities mentioned in the Product from the Firm. Please ask your Financial Consultant for additional details. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. takes responsibility for the Product in the United States.

• “Emotional surveillance” –tech to stop emotions upsetting investment strategies

• Wealth managers moving into concierge / family office services to protect HNW market share

• AI / chatbot advisors

And together can do more…

• Government can speed up change

• Require electronic ISA and pension transfers (i.e. no paper forms) • Impose maximum ISA and pension transfer times• Introduce higher transparency standards on performance and fees

• Regulators can be more flexible

• Allow us to speak in language people understand – “money at risk” not “capital at risk”

• Allow wealth managers to rely on the due diligence of banks

• The tax system can channel capital to entrepreneurs

• Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) for university lecturers and students: Prof-EIS

48Confidential -- 2016 Nutmeg Saving & Investment Limited

So in conclusion

• Established firms in finance lack trust, have tech legacies, and struggle to balance profit and social responsibility (no VC money!)

• This creates an opportunity: help people to improve their finances –winning trust by doing so

• Regulators are keen, and have eyes on the future

• But policymakers can do more to help FinTechs grow and keep innovating

• The societal necessity is too great for us to slow down!

A Bit of Context

• Early-stage investment was once limited to the very few—

those with lots of money and lots of time on their hands

• But many different types of people want to invest in these

businesses, whether to build a portfolio, support a friend or

be part of a company they like

• Meanwhile, many businesses want to raise capital from a

community rather than just a few angels and funds

• Crowdfunding has emerged in response to these needs

Emergence of Platforms

• Crowdfunding started around 2007 with the launch of

rewards-based platforms (Kickstarter, Indiegogo)

• Soon thereafter, platforms tried to expand to equity, but

they did so on an unregulated basis, and most failed

• Seedrs became the first regulated equity crowdfunding

platform in 2012

• Since then, dozens of equity crowdfunding platforms have

emerged across Europe

Invest in businesses

you believe in and

share in their success

It's simple and free for anyone in

Europe to sign up. Once your investor

profile is complete you'll be able to

access all campaigns, ask

entrepreneurs questions, request further

information and invest.

Discover businesses

To invest, choose the amount and

securely pay for your investment

by debit card or bank transfer.

It's simple to create a diversified

portfolio of investments to spread

your exposure to risk.

Start investing

Become a legal, ordinary

shareholder when the round

closes. Receive regular updates

and engage with each business

through Seedrs or offline. If the

business does well you'll receive

a return on your investment.

Share the success

Raise capital and build

community through a

simple online process

Start by answering our story-building

pitch questions. Explain your

business, show off your team, lay out

the market opportunity and highlight

what you plan to do with your

investment. Once you’re happy with

it, submit it to our team for review.

Create your campaign

You have up to 60 days to raise

investment. We’ll share best practise

creative marketing ideas for you to

reach out to your network of friends

and family, customers, business

angels, press and others. And we will

share your campaign with our active

investor base.

Get funded

Once all of the legal paperwork is

completed, we will transfer funds to

your business. You’ll be able to keep

in touch with your investors for

Scotland’s FinTech OpportunityConnecting Scotland

Scotland’s FinTech Opportunity – Executive Summary

2

Current Landscape – Deloitte, SFE and SE Research

1. Vision and Strategy

• With your support we aim to build a thriving globally connected Fintech ecosystem within Scotland. Leading to investment attraction,

new industries, employment and education – we need to strengthen the message and not be afraid to share it.

• Buy-in is required from all participants across the eco-system – we need to make sure the strategy incorporates every voice.

• There is a need to be bolder about the positive reasons why Scotland could be a key player in Fintech – we need to ‘extol the virtues’

2. Development support is required to FinTech start-ups

• No truly dedicated FinTech space for the whole ecosystem to use – a FinTech ‘hub’ is required to bind the community and accelerate growth.

• A ‘hub’ is required that contains a range of support functions and industry specialists to help move Scotland forward as a leader in FinTech.

• It is recognised that whilst there are a number of things happening in FinTech there is no ‘epicentre’ to draw it together.

3. Skills and Talent

• Attraction, development and retention of required skill sets to support FinTech is a challenge - there is a risk of ‘brain-drain’ if we can’t

create an environment that helps start-ups flourish.

• We need to focus time on highlighting how exciting ‘tech’ in FS can be – FS has historically been seen as an unlikely place for innovation.

• Dedicated ‘grass-roots’ school programmes, further education support and development initiatives are needed to help develop ‘business readiness’ and

awareness of the opportunities FinTech can create in Scotland.

4. Barriers to entry

• Key challenges include defining a clear use-case for products and services, navigating internal procurement process and regulation

restricting Banking/Fintech collaboration or acceptance.

• Accessibility of funding, pace of funding, and clarity around best funding options all hampers the ability of start-ups to really grow or

scale at pace.

5. Cohesion across the eco-system

• Little awareness of groups and support networks across the eco-system - action is needed to really ‘bind’ the community, physically and

virtually

• Agreement that the creation of a FinTech hub or centre would help massively in nurturing start-ups, driving innovation in the

incumbent firms, create partnering opportunities here and further afield and helping enlighten the next generation of talent.

6. Uncertainty of ‘when’

• Uncertainty around when FinTech will begin to flourish – no doubt it will, and a sense of momentum building (FS incumbents).

• Early opportunities in the next 3-5 years include Robotics, cognitive technology, distribution of payments, IoT and advanced

analytics.

• Start-ups are very clear that the opportunity is now, and keen to work with FS incumbents on accelerating growth.

FinTech Scotland: Our Vision

Scotland’s FinTech Opportunity

Connecting Scotland here and further – Four immediate areas we will

focus on:

1. Creating the Ecosystem – Physically and Virtually

• Strong and closely located Financial Services sector perfectly placed for collaboration and rapid development

of FinTech solutions.

• Strong heritage in creation of new technologies and solutions – exceptional skill base.

• Established communities and network in areas such as customer / service experience design (including

gamification), data management, distribution of payments and analytics.

• Creating the environment for established FS players with FinTech (disrupters and service providers) to share,

partner and develop ‘healthy’ relationships.

2. Connecting Scotland and Scotland into the broader Fintech Community

• Opportunity to build close connections and leverage the intellectual capital that exists in all of the

communities noted above.

• Geographical proximity of the eco-system – it all exists within easy reach.

• Some connection in place through current tech incubators – although not specifically focussed on FS.

• Well established infrastructure.

3. Value and Quality of Life

• Lower cost of living value compared to other sites such as London.

• High quality of life vs. lower cost of living.

• Progressive and outward looking community.

• A strong sense and willingness to collaborate.

4. Talent

• Leading Universities providing a platform to develop industry-focused graduates entering FinTech.

• Established ‘tech’ community – albeit not focussed on FS.

• Deep FS experience across multiple areas and segments.

Scotland’s FinTech Opportunity

What is in a network…

We should not underestimate the value that can be created through the creation of a successful

network.

We will develop detailed plans across our priority areas between now and the year end,

Quick Wins

219

Scotland’s FinTech Opportunity

What we need from you

Considerable progress has been made to identify and clarify the scale and extent of FinTech in Scotland and the

'size of the opportunity’. The opportunity facing us is global and outward looking and will create a 'halo' effect for

Scotland's brand; as a transformational and innovative country.

1. Active engagement and signposting

To work with us on the 4 priority areas we have identified to ensure we start to leverage the full potential of Scottish

FinTech from a 'Team Scotland' standpoint. We need to work collaboratively with Government, Education, Universities and

business to make this happen; and at pace.

• Action: Ongoing ministerial approval, engagement and supportive commentary; will be very helpful, in keeping up

momentum

2. Creating the Ecosystem

We know from looking across the globe, that having a FinTech Ecosystem is a critical deliverable. A team should be

formed, reporting into FiSAB; or a sub group, to look at how a Hub might be jointly funded by Government, Academia,

Edinburgh City Council and Scotland's FS companies; and to identify possible locations/buildings.

• Action 1: Ministerial decision maker to work alongside this initiative and support in designing the overall ecosystem

solution. This contact will also be a liaison point with other ministerial areas which will be impacted (Education /

Economic Policy / Taxation / Enterprise / Immigration etc)

• Action 2: detailed plan to be established that signals the location, capabilities, infrastructure of a physical community hub

for discussion and agreement by the end of the year - Confirmation there is potential budget to support the creation of

a Fintech ecosystem

3. Communication strategy

A global digital marketing campaign will be required to support the above; similar to 'Visit Scotland', to put us on the

map. A Global FinTech conference/festival would be part of this 'hearts and minds' campaign with incremental

activities in between e.g. hackathons and spotlight sessions hosted by FS now

• Action 1: Now and onwards – all FS players to commit to one hackathon or spotlight session between now and end Q1

2017

• Action 2: Detailed communication and marketing campaign aligned to 2, to be agreed at end December

In March 2016 Deloitte were commissioned by Scottish Enterprise to produce a report “FinTech Scoping Review:Establishing Scotland as a FinTech centre”.

Deloitte have also drawn on their global network to also consider Scotland’s opportunity in relation to other centres across the world and

identify the common components that are required to make Scotland a successful FinTech centre.

Establ i shi ng Scot l and as a F i nTech centre

This project involved extensive primary and secondary research of the FinTech industry in Scotland as well as interviews

with key stakeholders in the Scottish FinTech eco-system to determine the opportunity for Scotland to emerge as a

FinTech centre, the challenges, and the actions required by each component of the eco-system to really help Scotland

accelerate its potential. The outputs from this research form the basis of our focus.

M arch 2016

In summer 2016 TheCityUK, in it’s capacity as delivery partner to the Financial Services Trade and Investment Board (FSTIB), asked Deloitte

to produce a report focused on enhancing the attractiveness of the UK to FinTech. The exercise included interviews with

industry experts, practitioners, the global Deloitte network and desk based research to review 5 key criteria and develop a

set of recommendations.

We are using the learnings from this to help as we consider the opportunity for Scotland to become a FinTech Hub.

A definition of the FinTech eco-system in Scotland has been created and documented by Deloitte.

The definition and view of the eco-system is being used to ensure each participant in the

community is engaged appropriately.
