Britain's thriving fintech community will officially welcome BNY Mellon into the fold today with the launch of the company's new EMEA Innovation Centre in London.

The center will be opened this evening by BNY Mellon's Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Suresh Kumar, who is visiting from New York.

BNY Mellon's EMEA Innovation Centre will bring together tech start-ups, developers, industry experts and researchers to collaborate, disrupt and experiment.

The site, headed by Leda Glyptis, aims to provide an open ecosystem to create ground-breaking solutions which reimagine the future of finance.
