These are the 50 hottest fintech firms in Europe

London fintechs feature in just over half the list

London start-up AimBrain, that aims to kill the use of passwords, has just been named the hottest financial technology (fintech) company in Europe.

The FinTech50, a list to celebrate the movers and shakers in the industry, points out that fintech has generated £6bn in revenue in 2015 and employs some 61,000 people.

Julie Lake, co-founder of FinTech50, said: “2016 marks a pivotal point at which big banks and traditional financial institutions are starting to collaborate more closely with the industry’s newest players. London fintechs feature in just over half the list – in part due to the UK’s favourable regulatory environment as well as access to funding and talent.”
