Industry fintech integration body Origo has spun off its standards and governance arm Criterion as an independent organisation.

The FCA has given the green light to two ‘sandbox’ trials to support innovative firms devising new ways to tackle the challenges caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.

The Government has unveiled an independent Fintech Strategic Review to establish priorities for the sector and to support the continuing growth of UK fintech.

Embark Group’s new ‘Advance by Embark’ platform has been added to the Origo technology integration hub, becoming the 22nd company to join the fintech inter-connection service.
