Couldn't find anything on NWE except in the UK which is a possibility, I guess (Kerridge gets around).

They have two other subs that they didn't mention. Perhaps they are going under NWE. The two subs are/were Epoint Payment Corp and Fintech Holdings LLC (Oregon company)...

Guess we'll have to wait and see unless some more great detective work uncovers the puzzle ;) Nicely done valuestocks123...

Think I'm out for the day, off to my bar for an early start to the festivities.

Happy New Year!

NWE could stand for North West(ern) Europe...

Financial technology (FinTech) is one of the United Kingdom’s fastest growing business sectors. In 2017, British firms attracted a record $1.8 billion in venture capital investment – a massive 150 per cent hike on the previous year. So it’s no surprise other nations want to mirror its success.

The UK benefits from a FinTech crown jewel. London is lauded as the number one global FinTech hub, boasting the world’s largest financial services industry, a booming tech sector and some of the hottest start-ups around. Thirty-one of the 50 top FinTech companies call the city home. Add to that a burgeoning talent pool and backing from both regulators and policy-makers and it’s easy to see why the capital is leading the field.

Firm foundations in the United Kingdom...
We’ve played an important part in the story. We developed a FinTech Strategy with industry body TheCityUK and have helped the ecosystem to thrive. We authored the Global FinTech Hub Federation report 'A tale of 44 cities, our Global FinTech Interim Hub Review', published in 2017 and joined forces with Upside Partners to help our clients thrive with FinTech: by adopting a venture capital mindset, acquiring start-up empathy and collaborating effectively.

In March, we were once again the platinum headline sponsor at trade organisation Innovate Finance’s Global Summit.

During the same month, our Head of NWE FinTech, Louise Brett, was among leaders appointed to a new FinTech Strategy Group, set up by Innovate Finance and the City of London Corporation.

“Global FinTech continues to grow at a breathtaking pace with new entrepreneurs, investors and hub ecosystems emerging on a regular basis. With many of the first-order benefits of FinTech flowing to where they are needed most: making financial services simpler and more accessible. I am excited about the role Deloitte is playing in supporting emerging FinTech hubs and the ecosystem participants.”

~Louise Brett, Head of NWE FinTech

“Today, London is the FinTech capital of the world and we’re delighted to have been involved from the start,” says Louise. The ecosystem has the 'Fin' of New York, the 'Tech' of the US west coast and the policymakers of Washington, all within a 15-minute journey on public transport. These factors make London one of the greatest connected global cities in the world with the key ingredients for digital success."
