Global financial technology leader FIS® (NYSE: FIS) has partnered with Fulham Football Club to launch the innovative Markers, presented by FIS, a cutting-edge technology hub located at the new Fulham Pier.
Fulham Pier is part of the redevelopment of Fulham’s riverside stand, creating London’s latest riverfront destination, complete with restaurants, cafes, a hotel, a spa, and a members’ club—all overlooking the Thames. This project aligns with Fulham’s vision for a vibrant and inclusive environment that integrates advanced technology, cultural activities, and community engagement.
The Markers, presented by FIS, will serve as a hub for business leaders in West London, hosting industry events and client conferences to promote collaboration and innovation throughout the financial lifecycle in the UK and beyond. The launch features a panel discussion on innovation, including Fulham FC owner Shahid Khan and CEO Alistair Mackintosh. Additionally, the venue will act as a regional hub for FIS’ FinTech Accelerator Program and host the upcoming InnovateIN48 competition.
Ellyn Raftery, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at FIS, stated, “London’s rich financial services history and its vibrant fintech scene make it an ideal location for our latest innovation centre. This partnership with Fulham demonstrates our commitment to fintech innovation and community engagement. Together with UK entrepreneurs and industry leaders, we aim to advance the future of banking, payments, and investments.”
Fulham FC CEO Alistair Mackintosh added, “Fulham Pier’s strategic riverside location offers immense potential for our community. The partnership with FIS and the Markers suite will create a state-of-the-art incubator for innovation, positioning Fulham Pier as a key destination in West London. This initiative highlights the vital role of fintech in driving technological advancement and community development.”
In a commitment to community growth, FIS has pledged £25,000 to the Fulham FC Foundation, aimed at empowering over 100 young people aged 11–30 by providing them with qualifications that enhance their employment, education, and training prospects. This strategic investment is designed to foster positive change within the local community.
