CNBC and independent research firm Statista have collaborated to compile a list of the world’s top 200 Fintech companies.
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.
For instance, it has reveled several expected names in the neobanks category, including Revolut, Monzo, and Starling, but also less established players from emerging markets, like Nigeria-based fintech Kuda and Indian foreign exchange startup Niyo.
In the digital payments category Klarna, Affirm, and Afterpay have all been selected among the top 40 but lesser-known companies also feature such as French telecoms firm Orange and payments compliance startup Signifyd.
Major players such as Chinese mobile wallet Alipay and tech giant Tencent, which manages the WeChat Pay payment services are notable inclusions in this category, too, along with U.S. online payments heavyweight Stripe.
In total, 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.
