What are the most successful FinTech startups?

Financial technology has gone global at the moment. Tens of thousands of companies worldwide are developing new technologies, creating solutions based on AI, Blockchain, cybersecurity, mobile banking and much more. The variety of emerging teams and value they add to the community is astonishing.

Some startups attract $100+ million in investments from the get-go while others start slow but in the end, solve a huge issue that concerns millions of customers globally and gets snatched by banking giants for legendary money.

The point of this research is to uncover the people behind some of the most exciting technologies that most of us regularly use as well as to show how diverse and geographically independent can any startup be. Fintech has always been an idea over origin, occupation or financial status, and this list of the most successful fintech companies is here to prove it.

We never wanted to copy just the first 10 of FinTech Forbes or those who are now worth billions. This list includes startups that are poles apart in their view on tackling pressing financial technology issues that come from various continents.

To increase the immersion, here’s a chart by Medici Research that shows the dynamic of fintech funding across the globe. The numbers show how important the new ideas and fresh look on the old issues may be.
