The Focus
It’s not the deal — it’s the direction.
The new U.S.–U.K. Economic Prosperity Deal (EPD) isn’t a trade pact. It doesn’t change financial regulation or open new markets overnight. But it does something just as important: it formalizes intent.

Digital trade is now officially on the table — and financial services are part of the brief. So are paperless customs, cross-border compliance frameworks, and shared standards for digital infrastructure.
None of it is finalized. But all of it points in the same direction: a future where the U.S. and U.K. move closer on the policies that shape how digital finance operates.
For now, it’s the deal before the deal. And it could be one of the most fintech-relevant signals we’ve seen all year.
