Speaking at an event in London, British MP Lee Rowley has said that the fintech industry, rather than Brexit, will have a greater long term effect on people’s lives; Rowley is the head of a bipartisan parliamentary group on alternative lending and spent a decade in financial services; he also said that understanding of fintech within parliament is woefully low and that the industry needed to engage with the government while things are going well and not wait for a crisis.
