SINGAPORE, LONDON, July 10, 2024 – CNBC, First in Business Worldwide, has named the top fintech companies from around the world for the second year as part of its continuing collaboration with Statista, a leading international provider of market and consumer data.
From a pool of over 2,000 eligible companies, the list is categorized into eight different market segments; alternate finance, banking solutions, business process solutions, digital assets, financial planning, neobanking, payments, and wealth technology.
For the first time, the list also highlights one CNBC “Editor’s Pick” per category which stands out for its relevance or interest in news coverage. Editor’s Picks include Airwallex in banking solutions, Robinhood in wealth technology, and Alipay in payments, among others.
Artificial intelligence is a common focus for many of the listed fintechs, with several – such as Klarna and Mastercard – utilizing the new technology to augment their existing offerings.
Of the top 250 companies, 116 are based in the United States, showing the country’s sustained dominance in the sector. The UK retains its position with the second most companies featuring on the list, totaling 30, while India comes in third with 11 companies, up from seven last year.
Statista’s methodology involved analyzing and weighting overarching and segment-specific key performance indicators obtained from desk research and an open application process. These indicators were then converted into a scoring model in order to calculate a final score for each company and ultimately identify the top fintech companies for each market segment.
