Total funding in the FinTech sector this week reached $793.7m, ending a multi-week streak of sizable funding rounds.
Over the past month, each week has seen the FinTech sector secure more than $1bn in funding. For instance, nearly $2bn was raised in the sector last week.
However, despite there being 23 FinTech companies to raise capital this week, most of the deals were under $15m. Only six companies raised more than this sum.
The lion share of the capital raised this week came from just one deal – NinjaOne’s $500m Series C round. The funding round, which was led by ICONIQ Growth and CapitalG, brought the CyberTech’s valuation to an impressive $5bn.
NinjaOne is a cloud-native platform provides IT teams with visibility, security, and control over endpoints across more than 24,000 customers in 120+ countries. It plans to use the funding to support its R&D efforts in autonomous endpoint management, automated patching and vulnerability remediation.
The second biggest deal of the week pulled in just one tenth of NinjaOne’s total. RegTech company Taktile secured $50m for its Series B round, which was led by Balderton Capital and saw contributions from various other backers.
In terms of location, the US and UK tied for the top spot. Both countries saw ten companies close deals this week, with the UK bolstered by FinTech Scotland awarding five £50k prizes to an accelerator. There were another couple of smaller deals in the UK, with only two deals in the region securing more than $2m. On that point, one UK FinTech, Kani Payments, did not disclose the amount it raised.
The UK-based FinTech companies to raise capital this week were: ClearScore, Napo, Bourn, SatoshiPay, Docstribute, Ask Silver, NestEgg AI, MyArk, Profylr and Kani.
The US FinTech companies to raise funds this week were: NinjaOne, Taktile, Auditoria.AI, Edera, Dreadnode, RAD Security, Adaptive Insurance, Floodbase, Humanitru and Safetrust.
Switzerland was the only other country to see multiple FinTech deals this week, with Unique AI and amnis securing funding.
Elsewhere, Brazil (Capim), Spain (Flanks), Israel (Vayu), the UAE (Omnispay) and India (Dodo Payments) each housed one FinTech deal each.
Research from FinTech Global this week put a spotlight on European FinTech. It found that European FinTech deal activity declined by 63% YoY in 2024, falling from 4,030 deals down to 1,506 deals. Total funding was also down, going from $34.58bn in 2023 to $18.37bn in 2024.
In terms of sectors, it proved to be a mixed week. There were more PayTech deals than any other sector, sitting at five. These were Capim, Omnispay, Dodo Payments, SatoshiPay and Kani Payments.
It was then followed by CyberTech, RegTech and Infrastructure and enterprise software, which each saw four deals apiece.
The Cybertech’s were NinjaOne, Edera, Deadnode and RAD Security, the RegTechs were Taktile, Ask Silver, Profylr and Safetrust, while the enterprise software companies were Auditoria.AI, Unique AI, Vayu and Docstribute.
Similarly there were three deals each for WealthTech (ClearScore, Flanks and MyArk), marketplace lending (amnis, Bourn and NestEgg AI) and InsurTech (Napo, Adaptive Insurance and Floodbase).
Rounding off the week was one funding platform, Humanitru.
A recent research piece from FinTech Global found that US companies dominated the WealthTech funding scene in 2024, securing half of the top ten deals. In 2024, the global WealthTech sector recorded $20.1bn in total funding across 1,070 deals, marking a sharp decline of 69% from the $64.4bn raised in 2023 and a 66% drop in deal volume from 3,105 transactions in the previous year.
Despite the US’ dominance, the biggest WealthTech deal in 2024 was secured by UK-based abound, which raised $1bn.
Here are the 23 FinTech funding rounds covered by FinTech Global this week.
