Dear Reader

The Fintech100 highlights truly innovative companies, creating products and services at the juncture of technology and financial services who are seeking to disrupt the existing processes and products that dominate the marketplace, with fintech companies from 36 countries featuring in this year’s list.

The Fintech100 is divided into two sublists: (1) the ‘Top 50’ established fintech firms around the globe, which are ranked based on innovation, capital raising activity, size and country; and (2) the ‘Emerging 50’ firms, which are newer companies that are at the forefront of innovative technologies and practices.

We’ve selected the companies in the Fintech100 following extensive global research and analysis based on data across a range of dimensions, including the core five factors noted below:

Average annual capital raised
Rate of recent capital raising
Geographic diversity
Sectoral diversity
X-factor: degree of product, service and business model innovation (a subjective measure that is applied only with respect to companies appearing on the Emerging list)

The Fintech100 in 2018 includes:

18 countries from the UK and EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa),
11 countries from Asia Pacific (including Australia and New Zealand), and
7 countries from the Americas (North and South America).

The sectoral breakup of the Fintech100 is as follows:

34 payments and transactions companies, 22 lending companies, 14 wealth companies, 12 insurance companies, 10 neo / challenger banks, 3 “multi” companies (who play across sectors with multiple offerings) and 5 “other” companies (including regtech and data)

The companies on the 2018 List have raised over US$52B in venture capital (more than double last year’s figure) and almost US$28B of capital in the last 12 months (a 366% increase).

We congratulate the Top 10 companies in the Fintech100 for 2018:
