UK Finance is a trade association for the UK banking and financial services sector, formed on 1 July 2017. It represents around 300 firms in the UK providing credit, banking, markets and payment-related services. The association lobbies for its members and gives its view on the legislative and regulatory system for banking in the UK.
It was the result of a merger of the British Bankers' Association, Payments UK, the Council of Mortgage Lenders, the UK Cards Association and the Asset Based Finance Association.
