Ireland ‘losing out’ on FinTech investment

Ireland is losing out to major European tech hubs that are attracting a far greater share of FinTech investment.

Despite having a seat at the top table of financial technology (FinTech) internationally, Ireland is failing to attract a sufficient share of investment in the area, according to KPMG Ireland partner Anna Scally.

“From an Irish perspective, I’m very keen to see more money going into Irish FinTech companies because when I look at where the money is going in Europe it’s going into London and after that it’s going into Germany and I want to see the big bucks going into Ireland,” Ms Scally said.
