FINTECH ATLANTA is a coalition of companies (from Fortune 500s to startups) and other organizations working to advance 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.
“When I am asked why we chose to expand in Atlanta I tell people it is simple: Atlanta is the home and future of financial technology innovation across the globe. Full stop. Nowhere else combines the diversity of talent, higher education institutions, and corporate leadership all designed to foster creative, innovative and entrepreneurial FinTech solutions. I’m incredibly proud of the work that FinTech Atlanta has accomplished in bringing together the resources and leaders to the table to build a truly global digital payments and financial technology presence in this area and I look forward to continued efforts in these areas.
