Methodology
To identify the top 200 fintech companies, Statista employed a quantitative analysis of the global market across nine categories.
These categories were chosen to acknowledge that fintechs from different fields cannot be compared directly. For example, a business like Monzo operates differently from Stripe (as Stripe is not a licensed bank and cannot originate its own loans).
To facilitate the research process, CNBC invited fintechs to share additional information about their business models, revenue, transaction volumes, and other relevant data in response to a public call for nominations issued in March.
Since many fintech businesses are privately held and not obligated to disclose their financials publicly, voluntary information sharing about business models proved crucial for market analysis.
Statistics
During the analysis period, Statista assessed over 1,500 fintech companies, considering more than 10,000 data points sourced from annual reports, company websites, and news articles.
A scoring model was developed to evaluate the performance of these companies based on various KPIs, such as revenues and revenue per employee, as well as segment-specific KPIs within their respective market segments.
Each individual market segment featured between five and 40 selected companies.
The scoring model consisted of a 40% weighting for general KPIs and a 60% weighting for segment-specific KPIs.
The companies with the highest scores within their market segments secured a spot on the list.
The number of companies recognized per market segment varied based on the size of the respective market segment.
