London has the largest FinTech industry in Europe due to sizeable financial services clients, favourable regulation, and ample fintech funding. Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, and Stockholm are notable. Dublin, Edinburgh, Helsinki, Tallinn and Vilnius are small but high-value centres, often with specialities in areas such as fund management, blockchain, and payments. Malta, Cyprus and others compete to become Europe’s leader in crypto assets.
Global fintech funding has trended down since 2021. In 2024, USD 33.7bn was raised in 3,580 deals. Median deal sizes increased to USD 4m, implying there is still funding for early and late-stage companies with growth prospects. Payments and Lending remain key segments, with Crypto Assets and AI rapidly gaining momentum. IPO and M&A activity remains subdued.
AI-enablement will continue, including anti-fraud, customer service, robotic process automation, and regulatory compliance. RegTech remains a growing segment due to the increase in the number and complexity of regulations in financial services. B2B focused fintechs will continue to do well, especially those with the ability to embed payments and credit into broader processes. Open Banking, Blockchain and WealthTech continue to grow, albeit at a more modest speed.
