Fintech Finance Podcasts: The FF Salon at Money20/20 Europe 2023 with Stuart Keen, Fintech Australia

In Amsterdam at the RAI for the Money20/20 Europe event, we met with Stuart Keen, Head of Community and Global Engagement at Fintech Australia, to delve into the organisation’s core activities and operations.

Fintech Australia is a leading industry association representing and advocating for the Australian fintech ecosystem. Their mission is to support and foster the growth of fintech innovation in the country through collaboration, education, and policy advocacy.

“We support about 450 businesses, fintech companies large and small. They’re our members, and we support them in the domestic fintech ecosystem.”

“Early on, it was really an education piece for the companies, and then looking at how we can help those companies access the market, educate themselves and then scale from there. So, for me really, it’s about, now that they’re educated, the businesses know a lot, they’re capable of doing really well back home in Australia: How can we help them to succeed in new markets?”

“I like connecting with the companies that are doing really innovative things, because they’re the ones who are the most unique, cutting-edge and exciting. It’s not about me, it’s not about us, it’s about those companies and how they’re really doing.”
