In their own words

“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. Located in Brussels, the EFA serves as an advocate for the interests of its varied membership before the European institutions.”

“The Association unites a diverse group of FinTech providers ranging from payments, to lending, banking, robo-advice, investment as well as software as a service for the finance sector across a number of European member states. 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.”
