London drives sharp rebound in UK Fintech hiring
London remains the epicentre of UK fintech hiring
Fintech hiring in 2026 is set to accelerate sharply, led once again by London. The capital is forecast to see a 37% year-on-year rise in vacancies, accounting for 70% of all FinTech roles in the UK. This means nearly three-quarters of the nation’s FinTech jobs will be based in London. Growth outside the capital remains positive, with regional markets projected to increase hiring by 16%.
Lower interest rates and streamlined regulation are helping to restore confidence in the industry. London’s status as a global FinTech hub has been reinforced by geopolitical uncertainty and stable governance. Quarterly trends confirm the rebound: after a mid-year dip, hiring surged in Q3 and momentum has been sustained into the final quarter.
