In 2024, FinTech Atlanta made meaningful progress toward our mission of positioning Atlanta as the global capital of financial technology. Through a growing network of programs, we continued to foster innovation, share thought leadership, and shape the future of fintech both locally and beyond.
As we look to 2025, our focus is on deepening collaboration—within our ecosystem and with Atlanta’s anchor companies that rely on fintech but aren’t always seen as part of the industry. Driving this vision forward will take the collective strength of our board, members, and broader community—and FinTech Atlanta is well-positioned to lead the way.
Getting involved with FinTech Atlanta is an investment towards this industry movement that will benefit your organization and ensure you are seen as a global FinTech leader.
