Products & services Menu Our Fintech Pledge Our commitment to fintech collaboration and simple onboarding At Fidelity International, we realise that technology is rapidly evolving and changing almost every aspect of our lives: including those of our customers and clients. That’s why harnessing technology is so important to us – and working with fintechs helps us find cutting-edge technological solutions to ensure our clients and customers achieve their financial goals. We’ve signed the Fintech Pledge, an initiative supported by HM Treasury and Tech Nation. By signing the Pledge, we're committing to providing fintechs with clear guidance on how we will partner with them, so that together we will find the best technological solutions for our customers and clients. “Fidelity International is committed to driving forward innovation, which helps us achieve our purpose of working together to build better financial futures. As a private company, we are uniquely placed to embrace new technologies being developed that will ultimately improve the experience and service offerings for our current and future clients.
