CNBC has partnered with market research firm Statista to compile a list of the leading financial technology businesses globally for the third consecutive year.
The top global fintech list, which includes startups, scaleups, and well-established digital organizations, attempts to evaluate businesses using an unbiased, key performance indicator-based methodology.
Companies can now apply to register their information so that Statista’s researchers can review it. A business must concentrate mostly on creating cutting-edge, technologically advanced financial goods and services in order to be eligible.
In order to identify the most notable businesses in the United Kingdom, which is the biggest fintech industry in Europe based on the amount of money raised, CNBC will delve deeper into the research this year.
In addition to being evaluated for the global fintech list, applications from U.K.-based businesses will also be taken into consideration for a separate list of the leading fintech companies in the U.K.
According to industry trade group Innovate Finance, fintech companies in the United Kingdom raised $3.6 billion in venture financing in 2024, placing them top in Europe and second globally. Revolut, the largest fintech startup in Europe with a $45 billion value, is also based in the nation.
How to apply:
Companies can submit their information for consideration.
The form, hosted by Statista, includes questions about a company’s business model and certain key performance indicators, including revenue growth and employee headcount.
