Key themes 2023

Finding the future of the sector

With the rate of technological innovation continuing apace, how is the mutual sector staying ahead and keeping their products relevant and available for members? Looking at the digitally native generations, who expect things fast and available 24/7 where and when needed, can the mutual sector meet their needs whilst nurturing their already loyal membership?

Powering the transition to Net Zero

Mitigating the effects of climate change will require the participation of all sectors of economies and societies. Is the mutual sector primed to lead the way forward when it comes to sustainable finance initiatives? Can the sector leverage its famously purpose-driven approach to provide a better world for members and the environment? 

Lending & mortgage innovation

Widespread economic challenges have left many in a more precarious financial position. How are building societies, credit unions and community banks innovating their loans and mortgages to empower the likes of first-time buyers and those who find themselves beset by new sets of challenges?

Financial inclusion & health

Reaching and empowering the financially excluded and underserved is very much an objective of the mutual sector. Many institutions are committed to doing outreach to their local communities to educate and build confidence amongst their membership. Is the mutual sector key to providing fairer and more accessible finance for generations to come?

Digital transformation

How can mutuals develop their product offering to satisfy the growing appetite for digital-first services. How can they bring on board the right digital expertise and leverage technology to make innovation work for staff and customers in an increasingly competitive fintech marketplace?

Cross-Europe communities

Mutuals are at the heart of their communities. Whether you’re constructing your dream home in Germany, borrowing to cover school uniform costs in Scotland or insuring your car in Sweden, the co-operative finance model is here to stay. What are some of the hallmarks of mutual organisations and what do they have to teach the rest of the financial services world?

Agenda 2023

 

Content, community & experiences

FTT Mutuals is not an event – but a community. C-Level executives mingle with startup founders to debate and discuss the conventional wisdom of each event day across all our stages. Whether engaging on stage or off, carrying on the conversation on the Festival floor or at the craft beer bar, both our audience and speakers are essential to the dynamic.

Networking drinks receptions

What better way to wind down from a day of inspiring content and smart networking than an evening of fine wines, beers and canapés.

Continue to connect, discuss and debate or simply kickback and relax. 

Music stage

Fintech Talents will present music throughout the Festival, showcasing the best in new music but never overlooking past favourites. Expect guest DJs and good times.

Craft beer bar

Our craft beer sessions allow you to sample some of the greatest beers from across the UK whilst networking with strategic partners.
