FINTECH Circle, the global community for financial technology innovation, has entered into a strategic partnership with JournoLink to provide its members with AI-powered public relations and competitor intelligence solutions.
The collaboration aims to equip fintech startups and established financial institutions with advanced tools to navigate an increasingly crowded marketplace. Through the partnership, FINTECH Circle members will gain access to JournoLink’s “Volt” AI technology, which offers automated press release distribution, comprehensive media monitoring, and real-time competitor analysis.
Navigating a booming market
The partnership comes as the sector continues to expand rapidly. The AI in fintech market is projected to reach $52.19billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 30.9 per cent.
For many emerging fintechs, accessing enterprise-level PR capabilities has historically been a challenge due to budget constraints. This collaboration seeks to bridge that gap, offering smaller companies the ability to identify media opportunities and track competitor activities with the same sophistication as larger organisations.
Angus Denholm-Hay, managing director at JournoLink, commented: “We’re thrilled to partner with Fintech Circle to deliver cutting-edge AI-powered PR and competitor intelligence solutions specifically tailored for the fintech sector. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in helping fintech companies navigate the complex media landscape whilst gaining valuable competitive insights.”
Strategic timing
The announcement is timed to coincide with the year-end planning period, as financial institutions begin to formulate their marketing strategies for 2026. The partners believe that access to sophisticated intelligence tools will be critical for businesses setting their objectives for the coming year.
Susanne Chishti, CEO of FINTECH Circle, added: “This collaboration will provide our Fintech Circle members with cutting-edge AI solutions to streamline their PR efforts and amplify their market presence. The integration of JournoLink’s innovative Volt technology with our extensive fintech network creates tremendous value for our community.”
To ensure members can maximise the value of these new tools, the partnership will be rolled out through a series of educational webinars covering media engagement best practices and strategies for leveraging market intelligence.
