What the best fintechs get right

Fintech is crowded, regulated, and moving fast. The businesses that win are the ones customers, investors, and journalists understand and trust.

Rule 01

Earn trust before you ask for money

People only hand money to firms they trust. Show who you are, who regulates you, and how you keep their money safe, in every channel and every piece of coverage.

Rule 02

Speak plainly

Customers and investors switch off at jargon. Explain what you do in words a busy person understands at first read, and test it on someone outside the industry.

Rule 03

Put your founders out front

People trust people more than logos. Make your leaders the named experts that journalists call and customers recognise, across national, trade, and fintech media.

Rule 04

Turn your own data into news

Your figures on how people save, spend, or borrow are stories only you can tell. Package them into regular reports that the press will want to cover.

Rule 05

Be found where people now look

Customers increasingly ask ChatGPT and other AI tools what to use, and those tools draw on trusted coverage and clear content. Being quoted in the right places now shapes whether you are recommended.

Plan for the bad day

A data breach, an outage, or a regulator’s question can undo years of trust in an afternoon. Agree who says what, and to whom, before it happens.
