investment
in Europe
The UK has cultivated the most robust capital
infrastructure for fintech in Europe. Last year, the
UK ranked number one in Europe for total fintech
investment, securing over $12.5 billion in venture
capital funding for UK fintech companies in 2022
alone. A rare combination of abundant funding
sources and government prioritising the channelling
of investment into the fintech sector has created
optimal conditions for entrepreneurs to secure
backing and rapidly scale their disruptive solutions.
