Figures refer to fintech companies headquartered in the UK. Fintech companies are identified using Crunchbase industry tags and keyword-based classifications.

The United Kingdom’s fintech sector expanded rapidly between 2008 and 2025, although growth momentum slowed noticeably after 2018. By December 2025, the UK hosted fintech companies, a modest increase on recent years that nonetheless reinforced its position as a leading global fintech hub. Within Europe, the UK remained by far the largest fintech market, with Germany ranking a distant second.
