📣 Apply to our Women in FinTech Powerlist 2024 📣 See what previous Standout winners had to say 💬 "Being listed in the Innovate Finance Women in FinTech Power List and as a Standout 35 was an absolute honour and a real boost for my confidence. I would encourage everyone in the FinTech community to nominate women in your network. We all know a number of very talented females that aren’t always in the public eye, that aren’t always visible on social media, that aren’t always the first to speak up in meetings, that deserve the recognition for the valuable contribution they make to the success of the FinTech industry. And these women deserve to be rewarded and called out for their dedication and hard work" - Lucy Heavens from Wealth Dynamics Join a dynamic community of incredible women driving innovation in FinTech and Financial Services.

PRA consultation (CP7/24) - The Strong and Simple Framework: The simplified capital regime for Small Domestic Deposit Takers (SDDTs) Working with challenger banks, Innovate Finance responded to the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) consultation CP7/24 on “The Strong and Simple Framework: The simplified capital regime for Small Domestic Deposit Takers (SDDTs)”. 🏦 📈 We express support for the intention to simplify the prudential capital regime for SDDTs. Challenger banks now provide 60% of SME lending done by all banks in the UK, so it is right that the SDDT regime exists to help them continue to grow and compete. 📉 However, some of the PRA’s proposals may instead materially increase capital requirements compared to current rules, in particular for firms focused on SME lending. Challenger banks might thus choose to stay in the current regime with higher operational costs, potentially hindering their ability to support UK economic growth. The proposals are therefore not in line with the PRA’s secondary competitiveness and growth objectives. 🤔 We call on the PRA to address our concerns. The PRA should also compare its proposals with other jurisdictions to ensure that the UK remains competitive internationally. 🔗 Read our detailed and technical response here 👉🏻 https://hubs.ly/Q02_XwrN0 Bank of England | Adam Jackson | Andy Thornley | Michael Carter | Megan Jenkins | Christopher Foo
