Finance Dublin was established in 1996, as a consequence of the growing IFSC content of Finance Magazine which was established in 1987, the same year as the IFSC was established by the Irish Government and the European Union.

Although Finance Dublin has been variously described as the 'flagship' of the IFSC and indeed its 'bible', it is an independent commercial publication, published by Fintel Publications Ltd.

In publishing content relating to quoted securities, Fintel and its employees subscribe to a voluntary code of conduct which includes recognition of the principles relating to publications and publishing organisations in the European Union's MIFID ('The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive' - 2004/39/EC).

Finance Magazine, and its sister publication, Finance Dublin have provided readers with a forum of unique and insightful information, and viewpoints, on the businesses making up Ireland's international financial services industry, and has been to the fore in identifying trends and issues in both Irish and international finance.

For example, it identified the importance of securitisation at the outset of its establishment in 1987, and in keynote addresses of Finance Dublin conferences warned, in 2005 and 2006, of impending potential difficulties in the then burgeoning new credit derivative markets. It was one of the first publications in the world to draw attention to a potential crash in credit derivatives, long before the mortgage backed - credit derivatives markets failed in the summer of 2007. On the domestic Irish economy, it was the first publication in Ireland to publish clearly argued and consistent analysis of the overheating of the Irish housing market, and its implications as early as 1995, and in keynote articles published in 2000, in 2007, and in intervening years.
