Premier David Burt led a six‑member delegation to Washington, D.C., last week to attend the annual FinTech Week conference. The event, which draws industry leaders from around the globe, focuses on emerging digital finance technologies and regulatory frameworks that support cross‑border innovation.

The delegation, which included officials from the Monetary Authority of Bermuda and representatives of local fintech firms, sought to exchange ideas on how Bermuda can strengthen its position as a leading jurisdiction for digital financial services. Discussions highlighted opportunities for collaboration with U.S. fintech hubs, potential joint research initiatives, and ways to streamline regulatory compliance for Bermuda‑based companies operating abroad.

Burt emphasized that the trip underscored Bermuda’s commitment to staying at the forefront of fintech development. He noted that the experience would inform future policy adjustments and support the growth of local startups. The delegation plans to return with a set of recommendations aimed at enhancing Bermuda’s fintech ecosystem and fostering deeper ties with international partners.
