From banking giants to lending up-and-comers — here are the world's top 200 fintech companies
From across the globe, spanning a diverse range of applications in finance — these are the world's top 200 fintech companies.
Together, CNBC and independent market research firm Statista worked to compile a comprehensive list of companies building innovative, tech-enabled and finance-related products and services.
The partnership set out to list the top fintech companies using a clearly defined methodology identifying how various different companies performed against a set of key performance indicators, including total number of users, volumes, and revenues.
The chosen companies have been divided up into nine categories: neobanking, digital payments, digital assets, digital financial planning, digital wealth management, alternate financing, alternate lending, digital banking solutions, and digital business solutions.
This was done to account for the fact that business performance of fintechs in different fields of finance can't be compared like-for-like.
The fintech space has gone through a tumultuous period. Companies have seen their valuations slashed, funding is scarce, and businesses are cutting back on staffing and other costs in a bid to keep investors happy.
At the same time, innovation is continuing to happen. Several firms are developing tools to help customers budget in more effective ways and predict what their future financial situation might look like.
In the digital assets space, meanwhile, there's been a greater focus on building technology to help improve some of the financial services industry's biggest challenges, from moving money across borders to real-time settlement.
CNBC has broken the list up category by category — from neobanking all the way down to digital business solutions.
