FinTech North partners with PEXA to drive the region’s Influence in Financial Services
FinTech North is pleased to announce a partnership with PEXA, the FinTech behind the world’s first digital property exchange process, in a collaboration that demonstrates PEXA’s commitment to advancing financial infrastructure in the region.
The partnership will see FinTech North and PEXA deliver a range of events and strategic initiatives in 2025, bringing essential insights to discussions about customer-centric service design and enhancing the reliability of financial infrastructure in the region as a proof point for how it can be rolled out on a national scale.
PEXA will feature as a brand sponsor at the 2025 Leeds Conference, set to take place in Q2, where it will host a keynote presentation, fireside chat, or panel discussion focused on customer-centric infrastructure. These sessions will share best practices that promote reliability, efficiency, and user-oriented service design within the UK’s financial ecosystem.
In addition, PEXA will headline two virtual events in 2025, including webinars or virtual roundtables, as well as four further speaking opportunities all of which are aimed at engaging mortgage originators, lenders, and financial service providers. The events will highlight its expertise in digital property settlements and the role of Northern based businesses in making them a reality.
The partnership comes after PEXA’s decision to choose Leeds as their base, underscoring the city’s significance as a hub for innovation in FinTech, tech and financial services and reinforcing the North’s position as a key player in the national landscape. It aligns FinTech North’s dedication to supporting the expansion, growth and integration of global brands in the UK market.
Joe Roche, General Manager at FinTech North:
“We’re delighted to partner with PEXA as they establish their UK headquarters in Leeds, the home of FinTech North and a vibrant hub for FinTech innovation in the North of England. This expansion and our collaboration highlight Leeds as a centre for FinTech excellence and an ideal destination for global businesses looking to grow.
PEXA’s role as a critical infrastructure provider aligns perfectly with our mission to foster collaboration, innovation, and growth in financial services across the North, and we’re really looking forward to supporting their continuing integration into the UK market.”
Simon Wright, UK COO at PEXA, comments:
“We’re on a mission to help address the current inefficiencies in the UK property market. Conveyancers, lenders and brokers all just want to provide a great service for the end consumer, so we urgently need to drive forward innovation in the back-end technology and infrastructure supporting them to make this a reality.
We’re in a prime position to do that, especially having launched the Future Property Transactions Group, bringing together all industry players to accelerate progress this year. The North—and Leeds in particular—are central to this initiative, with their expertise and resources to improve the transaction process. This will provide a proof point for a solution to a national problem, and FinTech North will play a significant role in that journey. We are delighted to partner with them and look forward to seeing the results we can deliver together.”
