Driving innovation and sustainable growth in Europe 

Why Europe?

Europe, particularly the EU, represents the largest single market globally, yet it is far from homogenous. The continent presents a unique mix of challenges and opportunities. In high-cost environments, delivering reasonable returns for financial services can be difficult, while other regions in Europe urgently need the most modern financial infrastructure, offering a chance to leapfrog technologically. Although Europe is wealthy, it remains cautious about technical innovation, placing a strong emphasis on customer and data protection. However, if Europe wants to maintain its leading position, the creation, access, and openness to innovation are essential. GFTN is committed to fostering this innovation, helping the European community balance its protective instincts with the need to embrace new technologies that will drive sustainable growth and maintain its global influence.
