The PayExpo Startup Community

An unmissable opportunity for the fintech startup community

The UK has long been a leader of financial services and, more recently, has become a global hub for fintech

Since its inception, PayExpo has supported the fintech start-up community. We offer a free platform to exhibit in the Startup Hub, the opportunity to pitch in our Payments Dragons' Den feature and passes to attend the conference to all relevant start-ups, younger than 2 years and with less than $2m in overall funding.

In partnership with the UK Department for International Trade, PayExpo looks to showcase advances in the Payments industry looking outwards from the UK to Europe and the global markets, giving an international platform to Fintech startups and innovators.
