We are proud to announce Computershare as a sponsor of this year’s showcase technology event – FinTech North.
Computershare, the global financial administration company, has been announced as a sponsor of FinTech North, the one day showcase conference that will take place on 26th April during Leeds Digital Festival.
Represented in over 21 countries with 90 offices worldwide, Computershare is a global financial administration company.

Computershare now employs over 2,600 people in its UK Loan Services business and administers more than half of all outsourced mortgages in the country. Globally it is involved in numerous Fintech projects, most recently developing a new initiative using blockchain technology to establish securities ownership registers for the Australian market.
Andrew Jones, CEO of Computershare Loan Services, said:
