Following the news that 12 winning fintechs have been selected to advance the future of small business banking, progressing to the final stage of the Nesta Open Up Challenge, Kemp Little is delighted to announce that it will be the sole appointed legal provider, supporting the businesses in bringing their open banking products to market.
Stage 2 of Nesta’s Open Up Challenge will see Kemp Little continue to provide advice to the participating fintech businesses on the full range of services they offer as a firm, including commercial technology, financial regulation, intellectual property, data protection, corporate advice, tax and employment.
The firm, which was the sole legal advisor during Stage 1 of the Challenge, previously supported the 20 rigorously selected fintech businesses in developing their own open banking products. This included successfully guiding a number of the participants through the application process for registration with the FCA as one of the newly created open banking categories of “account information service providers” or “AISPs”, enabling them to access customers’ transaction data directly from their bank accounts.
Kemp Little partner and fintech lead Chris Hill commented: “Our involvement in the Open Up Challenge has led to us being engaged directly with the FCA on some of the edge-case issues surrounding the implementation of PSD2 and the Payment Services Regulations. It has allowed us to build up what we firmly believe to be an industry-leading body of knowledge and practical experience in the law around open banking. We are thrilled to be involved in the next stage and look forward to working with all of the finalists.”

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association
Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.
For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.
The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
