Next Bank Europe

 

 

 

Next Bank is an independent, open and collaborative community driving change for the better in financial services through design, innovation and entrepreneurship. We’d been to events, listened to banks and others in the media, and thought the conversation just wasn’t progressive enough. We wanted to create an inspiring and creative forum for discussion, that made all participants feel welcome and involved.
Next Bank Europe returns to London, with a stellar lineup. Get in touch to be a part of it.
