Reimagining the Future of Finance — With SC Ventures by Standard Chartered at the Helm

As UK FinTech Week 2025 gathers pace ahead of next week's event, we're excited to see SC Ventures by Standard Chartered joining FinTech Alliance’s programme — bringing bold thinking, global experience, and a deep commitment to reshaping financial services where it's needed most.

While the UK is home to world-leading fintech talent, just under 70% of financial inclusion opportunities lie in emerging markets. That’s where SC Ventures is doing its most powerful work — bridging traditional finance with cutting-edge technology to create solutions in digital banking, embedded finance, supply chains, and digital assets.

From launching startups that serve underbanked populations to investing in ventures across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, SC Ventures is living proof that meaningful innovation often starts far from the spotlight — and ends up changing the global conversation.

 Gurdeep Singh Kohli, Lead Europe & Americas, SC Ventures

“UK FinTech Week brings together the boldest minds in finance to lead discussions on the state of the sector globally. We’re looking forward to joining peers to spark new ideas and to explore how we can shape the future of banking that’s smarter, faster, and more inclusive.”


This week isn’t just about showcasing what’s next — it’s about shaping it.
We’re proud to stand alongside SC Ventures and the rest of the FinTech Alliance to explore what inclusive, global innovation really looks like.
