The past year has proven a transformative one for financial technology. Global venture funding into the fintech sector has declined sharply from the industry’s heyday in 2020 and 2021, and experts say the market is in a new normal, with valuations correcting from unsustainable highs.
In this climate, CNBC, together with market research firm Statista, has listed the top 250 fintech companies globally. The World’s Top Fintech Companies 2024 report includes companies both big and small, across a variety of different market categories.
Each segment table is unranked, and the companies are listed in alphabetical order. This year, CNBC also handpicked standout companies from each individual market segment for their newsworthiness. These CNBC “editor’s picks” are selected from the overall list, and the companies chosen hold no higher prominence than others in Statista’s objective, KPI-based analysis.
