FINTECH ATLANTA is a coalition of companies (from Fortune 500s to startups) and other organizations working to cement Atlanta as the recognized global capital of financial technology. The group’s priorities are to fund and fuel efforts to RECRUIT, RETAIN and EXPAND businesses and jobs across the FinTech ecosystem in metro Atlanta and the state of Georgia.
“FinTech companies deliver the financial infrastructure every organization uses to manage their operation, from accounting to payments and beyond. FinTech solutions power the global economy. Atlanta has quietly become the global capital of this critically important sector. Through the FinTech Atlanta initiative, Atlanta will become the recognized global home of FinTech by 2020, just as New York and London are the recognized headquarters of finance.
