Financial services

Most communications and policy advisers understand financial services from the outside.

We’re different.

The 56° North team have run corporate affairs, policy and strategy inside some of the UK’s largest financial institutions and at the heart of government.

That combination shapes everything we do. Whether we’re sharing insights and intelligence on policy and sector trends, advising a board on a reputational challenge, developing a narrative for a business navigating significant change, or helping a leadership team shape their approach to regulators and government, our advice is grounded in experience.

We work with banks, fintechs, insurers and wealth managers at every stage of their development.

For challengers building credibility while managing regulatory and investor scrutiny simultaneously, and for established players looking to shape the policy environment rather than simply respond to it, we offer strategic counsel, communications expertise and hands-on policy and influencing work – delivered by people who have done it themselves.
