Gartner US research and consulting firm Gartner offers a range of services to established players and up-andcoming fintechs . Known for delivering key insights , the firm this year launched a decision guide for Making Strategic Fintech Partnerships , offering key insights to established financial services firms – categorising whether a fintech is best seen as a buy , a buy-and-customise , or a partnership opportunity . Such actionable , objective insight helps Gartner ’ s clients make smarter financial decisions to accelerate growth , pick the right tools and providers , and create partnership networks .

Dublin-based professional services firm Accenture is helping to bring newly-launched fintechs to market . While its Fintech Innovation Lab is technically an accelerator to help get fintechs off the ground , it does offer consulting services to banks , helping connect them with the most promising fintechs and up-andcoming technologies . The firm believes now is the time for banks to ‘ challenge everything ’, and supports them in their digital transformation journeys . As neobanks and challengers chip away at the value chain , Accenture supports incumbents as they look to level the technological playing field .
