398. Insights: Will Brexit break UK fintech?

In today's Insights show, we reflect on the past 4 years of Brexit and discuss the future of fintech in post-Brexit Britain. This week's guests include: Emily Nicolle - Technology Editor at City AM James Hurley - Enterprise Editor at The Times Before diving into it, we revisit our very first episode of Fintech Insider.

Almost four years on, how do they hold up? Are fintechs fleeing the UK for greener pastures in the E.U.? Conversely, is Brexit attracting more fintech talent to the UK? Startup life is full of uncertainty and Brexit has been much the same. So, what can fintech companies do to protect themselves now that Brexit is upon us and how will the industry shift in the coming months and years?
