The growing finance sector in Brussels
From specialist incubators to the HQs of global service providers, Brussels has a widely diversified and stable financial sector, making it the perfect place to expand your business.
The finance sector in Brussels is a vibrant ecosystem, buzzing with
new ideas, projects and achievements. It is a world-class centre for
specialised financial infrastructure, has state-of-the-art knowledge
about payment services and cutting-edge cyber security expertise
(Febelfin* - Fintech).
The ecosystem encourages
cross-fertilization between FinTech and new and established players,
which could be the reason that there are currently 92 banks already
established in Brussels, including commercial and community banks,
international banks, universal banks and niche banks. Plus, Brussels is
home to the HQs of Euroclear, Swift and Euronext.
There are also other financial service providers, including credit institutions, asset managers, brokerage firms, leasing companies and clearing and settlement companies. Furthermore, specialist incubators, including B-Hive, Start-it (KBC), Fintech Village (ING) and Co-Station (BNP Parisbas Fortis), all promote innovation and the growth of numerous start-ups. All signs of a sustainable and widely diversified financial sector (Febelfin*).
