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:

1. Average annual capital raised

2. Rate of recent capital raising

3. Geographic diversity

4. Sectoral diversity

5. 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)

These selection criteria are the key metrics used to calculate the rankings of companies in the Fintech100.
