Test Our Future Simulator!

BankingLab London is developing a new cool “future simulator” that helps you estimate the economic and organisational consequences of new financial trends and technologies. We combine global FinTech trends with your bank’s economy and business model to estimate the impact of a fast changing world.

Our philosophy

Make it new and let it grow…

BankingLab London is founded by financial futurist Nils Elmark. He and his team have been part of London’s Fintech ecosystem since its very beginning 10 years ago. We have seen startups with good ideas grow into unicorns. It’s been a decade dominated by global tech companies, but we believe that community banking is now experiencing a revival. Thanks to new technology it’s again an advantage to be small.

But community banks should not innovate what they have. Today’s opportunities call for completely new business models that get time and trends on their side. We facilitate this process and we believe that the future growth of the new community banking starts in London. We won’t tell you about the future - we’ll show you. We’ll let you meet the new bright Fintech entrepreneurs and the venture capitalists who back them.

In short, we want to give small financial institutions in Europe the same insights as the tech giants and the global banks. And we want to inspire our partners to develop new and exciting banking models that will grow and prosper in their communities.

Inspired? Give us a call or send us an email to hear how London’s FinTech eco-system can help your community bank change and expend.
