The European FinTech Association (EFA) is a non-profit organisation that brings together FinTechs from across Europe to speak with one voice for the FinTech sector. Strategically located in Brussels, the EFA serves as an advocate for the interests of its varied membership before the European institutions. Its membership runs the gamut from digital banking, payments and lending to international money transfers and investment advisory, and features some of the most innovative players - both large and small - in the European FinTech sector.
Founded in 2019, the organisation is the result of the union of two separate groupings, FinTechs for Europe and the European FinTech Alliance, that gathered forces to ensure that Europe remains at the forefront of the digital economy through the promotion of a thriving FinTech sector.Main EU files targeted
Removing cross-border barriers and digital-only barriers; Levelling the playing field and increasing competition; Putting consumers at the heart of digital finance; Supporting talent and growth of FinTechs in Europe
