The European Digital Finance Association (EDFA) held its General Assembly last Friday, bringing together its member associations from across Europe to elect the new Board of Directors for the upcoming term.
This renewal marks an important moment for EDFA, as the association continues to strengthen its role as a unified voice for Europe’s digital finance ecosystem. The newly elected Board reflects the diversity and complementarity of national fintech communities, and reinforces EDFA’s mission to promote constructive dialogue with European institutions, support innovation, and contribute to a competitive and resilient financial landscape.
Over the past years, EDFA has expanded its engagement with policymakers, deepened collaboration among national associations, and contributed to key discussions on digital finance, payments, crowdfunding, data, and financial innovation. The new Board will continue this work, ensuring that the perspectives of Europe’s fintech ecosystems are represented in the regulatory and policy debates that shape the future of the sector.
