The financial technology (“FinTech”) sector is transforming how businesses, consumers, and governments handle payments, investments, lending, and data security. With innovation racing ahead of regulation, companies at the forefront of digital banking, blockchain, cryptocurrency, and financial services technology face complex policy challenges. From data privacy and cybersecurity requirements to licensing, compliance, and taxation issues, FinTech organizations must navigate a rapidly evolving legal and regulatory landscape at both the state and federal levels.
At Gentry Locke Consulting, we understand that policy can be a powerful driver—or obstacle—to innovation. Our team leverages deep relationships in the Virginia General Assembly and across state and local agencies to advocate for legislation and regulations that support FinTech growth while ensuring responsible governance. We work closely with our clients to identify emerging policy trends, educate lawmakers and regulators on the implications of new technologies, and shape practical solutions that balance innovation, consumer protection, and market stability.
Whether you are a start-up seeking a voice in the legislative process, an established company responding to new compliance rules, or an association representing the FinTech ecosystem, Gentry Locke Consulting can help. Our professionals offer strategic lobbying, policy monitoring, and legislative affairs services to ensure your interests are heard and advanced where decisions are made. We help you not only adapt to change, but influence it.
