Who is FinTech Belgium ?


The FinTech Belgium community was created at the beginning of 2015.

Its founding members are FinTech actors and people involved in the Digital Finance ecosystem in Belgium.

FinTech Belgium aims to welcome as members and/or partners, every company directly or indirectly involved in the financial services industry (banking, insurance, asset management, payment, consulting, accounting, big data, technology interfaces, etc…) and that uses or develops operational, technological or commercial innovative models with a view to improve the functioning of the industry or to address its existing or emerging issues.

FinTech Belgium is a place of exchange which enables it to federate its members and represent them outside the community.

FinTech Belgium is a lively community and a non-profit organisation led by a board of directors and managed on a daily basis by a motivated OP team. Discover the team here.

Its Revenues

We are a neutral and independent non-profit organisation and want to keep it that way. Our directors work as volunteers, graciously investing a lot of time for the community. We only have a few employees at the moment. Meet them here.

Our main revenues come from

  • our different generous partners who support our community in a financial way or by hosting an event and providing catering for our guests,

  • our members and friends through their membership

  • and the ticketing of our different events.

We are really grateful and want to thank every single one of them and our community for their presence during our events…
