Understanding this ranking
This ranking was initially an internal tool that we use at CFTE. Because CFTE and our experts constantly create courses and presentations, there is always the need for information such as “What is the latest valuation of Ant Group” or “How does Revolut compare to European banks”. Since we spend a large amount of time updating this information, we thought it could be useful to others too and decided to make it public. But note that it is first and foremost an internal tool, so will have its limitations. I hope you will find this ranking useful, and please do not hesitate to report issues or suggest improvements.

What is Fintech?
At CFTE, our definition of Fintech is “the impact that technology has in transforming the financial industry”. It’s a very broad definition that includes early stage Fintech startups, established startups such as Stripe, large tech companies such as Ant Financial, but also financial institutions such as Citi or Prudential. In the table above, we have decided to exclude the financial institutions such as JP Morgan to focus only on the Fintech startups. We have differentiated between the different sub-sectors of Fintech, and have included all of them, such as Paytech, Insurtech, Regtech, Challenger Banks, etc.
What is market capitalisation?
For listed companies, we use Google Finance as the market capitalisation. For private companies, we use articles, press releases, etc., which we reference. This has to be taken with a grain of salt since private valuations are not easily comparable (preferential rights, etc.) and disclosed numbers can’t always be trusted. Some companies are not present because no valuations were public.
Is it a comprehensive list?
Not by a long way. There are companies missing and figures change on a daily basis. We have decided to only list the companies with a valuation in excess of $1bn (the “unicorns” in startup speak). We are constantly updating this table, so don’t hesitate to send us names of companies we have missed and flag inaccurate information. Thanks a lot for your help!
