About TechPassport
Founded in 2019, TechPassport was created to help lower the barrier of entry for FinTechs and start-ups looking to work with financial institutions from across the world.
Underpinned by an angel-backed team, the TechPassport platform enables FinTechs to become enterprise ready before the point of engagement and onboarding with a bank, including ensuring that sales, compliance, and legal paperwork are in order.
TechPassport actively scouts for FinTechs and start-ups to include on the platform, and groups them according to specialism. Banks can then use the platform to find certified suppliers, confident in the knowledge that they will meet procurement requirements, making institution-FinTech innovation faster, cheaper, and frictionless.
