The UK FinTech community has launched the Fintech For All Charter – an industry-led initiative to end harassment and promote diversity within the sector.
The effort is being led by InChorus and supported by Innovate Finance, the FinTech Alliance, and Level39, with the Financial Conduct Authority supporting the steering committee.
The Charter is a commitment to increasing diversity and inclusion across the sector. Furthermore, signatories will pledge to create a culture where inclusive behaviour is championed, harassment is not tolerated, and diversity is widely promoted to futureproof UK FinTech and enable sustainable growth.
The call for action follows a sector survey conducted by InChorus, which revealed high levels of workplace harassment in UK FinTech. Amongst the firms and employees surveyed, 85% of harassment related incidents were related to gender, and 84% of victims were harassed more than once.
