10 fintechs in London and New York that could hire you in 2021

If you lose your job with an investment bank this year, there are plenty of other options. These days, financial services isn't just about big banks: there's also a whole array of supporting companies in the fintech universe. - As ex-Citi managing director Nguyen Trieu, says: "In the past, working in finance used to be about working for a bank," he says. "Now, you could be working for a bank, a fintech start-up or a technology company."
