Our Mission

In 2016, the Fordham FinTech Network was established as a student-led initiative at the Fordham University, Lincoln Center campus. Now it has 1,500+ members composed of undergraduates, graduates, and professionals.

As the Fordham FinTech Network, we are an inclusive platform for a diverse range of students and professionals to learn from and educate one another on the ever-evolving financial technology industry. Our goal is to become a creative incubator for inspired students to pursue FinTech careers or entrepreneurial endeavors within the industry. Through our dedicated pursuit of education and innovation, we envision ourselves to be the go-to FinTech Network across all universities.

“The Fordham FinTech Network consists of a group of the most passionate people in the financial technology industry who are ready to disrupt the world in which we live in.”
