With 1.3 billion dollars raised across 36 transactions this week, the success of FinTech startups has continued apace. According to an investigation, the value was unchanged from the previous week, but the deal count grew from last week’s total of 23. Nevertheless, the size of agreements was more fairly distributed, with the top 10 deals raising $1 billion and the rest 26 deals generating $300 million. In contrast, the prior week’s top ten agreements brought in $1.32 billion, while the remaining thirteen deals brought in only $60 million.

The United States remained the leader in Fintech funding agreements, with 16. This was followed by the United Kingdom with 4 and France with 3. India, Colombia, Australia, Singapore, Switzerland, Israel, Brazil, and Sweden were also involved in the deals. Bound, a marketplace lender in the United Kingdom, and Mintifi, a supply chain financing provider based in India, closed the two largest agreements. Companies from the United States landed five of the top ten deals, with competition from France, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
