CNBC and independent research firm Statista are teaming up to identify the world’s top fintech companies, which will be named in a CNBC report published in August.
The research will identify fintechs disrupting the financial giants with services that are faster, cheaper and more accessible – from established companies in payments and digital banking to rising stars in emerging areas such as cryptocurrency.
In 2022, the fintech world took a beating. Some of the world’s most valued companies saw their valuation fall as investors reexamined the sector against a backdrop of rising interest rates, rising costs of living and the prospect of tighter regulation.
But innovation is still happening – with a vengeance. The rising cost of living has provided opportunities for companies to develop tools that can help people navigate economic uncertainty — whether through better budgeting and financial planning, or through education about how to handle money.
That makes the need for a transparent overview of the best fintech companies more important than ever.
As part of the study, we invite submissions from eligible fintech companies to register their interest to be considered for the list. To qualify, a fintech – defined as a company that provides innovative, technology-based and financial products and services – must have successfully completed at least one Series A funding round.
Companies will be required to provide information about their business model and certain key performance indicators.
