Membership at FACE is designed to be open, participatory, and feedback-driven, ensuring that diverse perspectives across the ecosystem shape its work.
Organisations join FACE to be part of a platform that brings the industry together in a more organised and constructive manner. FACE helps consolidate practical feedback, identify common issues, and support engagement with regulators and government in a credible and structured way.
Members engage through fortnightly meetings, thematic discussions, working groups, and domain-focused forums, helping bring sector realities into collective industry engagement.
Membership reflects association with a platform focused on responsible conduct, sector development, and credible engagement. For many organisations, that institutional context matters alongside business growth and market visibility.
FACE membership provides access to an ecosystem that goes beyond any one segment of FinTech. It creates opportunities to connect with peers, partners, experts, and institutions working across different layers of the sector.
Today, FACE members represent a wide spectrum across products, scale, investment stage, regulatory status, operating models, and maturity, including both B2B and B2C organisations.
