Five major banks - Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, NatWest Group and Santander have all signed the voluntary pledge.
John Glen, Economic Secretary to the Treasury said: “The UK is already the best place in the world to start and grow a fintech, and we’re committed to that remaining the case as our economy bounces back.
