Highlights:
- The top 5 global Fintech ecosystems are Silicon Valley, New York City, London,Singapore and Beijing.
- Europe and North America no longer dominate the Top 20 Fintech ecosystems with the Asia-Pacific region contributing as many globally leading hubs as North America.
- Overall, the growth in Fintech funding is slowing down globally. Early-stage funding (pre-seed, seed and Series A) has plateaued almost everywhere. China in particular has seen a drop. The notable exceptions are Europe, and Americas (excluding USA), both of which have seen an increase.
- Series B+ funding is doing better, with China being the only region down in 2019,but this is due to a whopper year in 2018, led by a $14B funding round for Ant Financial.
- The increasing share of series B+ rounds in total funding for fintech indicates industry consolidation with more money being poured into winners. This is ultimately necessary as Fintech commercials require large volumes for profitability.
- European Fintech funding continues its steady climb at all stages and with consistent unicorn growth, not the least reflective of rapid growth in user adoption since pandemic.
- Digital-only banking clearly is on the rise; including by adding new services such as wealth management as well as broader service bundles.
- Artificial Intelligence: A natural complement to Fintech, helping the industry develop hyper personalized solutions.
- From competition to collaboration - incumbents and startup challengers increasingly realize benefit in collaborating, resulting in a much larger number of partnerships between incumbent FIs and Fintechs as well as between non-financial players and Fintechs.
