It’s a packed calendar of practical and insightful programming
The 2026 programme will continue to empower fintech founders and teams with the insights, tools, and connections needed to scale. We curate practical sessions across multiple formats – from headline industry stages to specialist roundtables and focused masterclasses and social events each designed to spark ideas and turn ambition into action.
The majority of our events will take place at FinClub – Old Sessions House in Farringdon, our new home base. It’s a unique and vibrant setting built for collaboration, conversation, and community.
We’d also love to host your event in the space. Our team can act as an extension of yours – supporting end-to-end delivery and helping amplify your event to our network of 15,000+ fintech leaders, founders, and operators.
Originally launched as Rise & Shine, this monthly event series quickly became a trusted forum for ambitious fintech founders and operators looking to scale. After a highly successful 18-month run, the closure of Barclays Rise prompted Fintech Fringe to find a new home.
With a new homebase at Old Sessions house in Farringdon, the series is relaunched as Scale & Grow.
At the intersection of brand and build lies a powerful insight: trust isn’t just earned through design or speed. It’s built through consistency, clarity, and putting the customer first at every step of the journey.
This session led by Simon Taylor, Founder of Fintech Brainfood takes a deepdive with David Sandstrom, CMO of Klarna and Kamjar Hajabdolahi, Kustom’s CEO.
