How Much Funding Did Fintech Receive in 2025?
Global fintech investment hit $95.6 billion in 2024, the lowest figure since 2017 according to KPMG’s Pulse of Fintech report. The combination of macroeconomic uncertainty and a packed global election calendar kept investors on the sidelines. Investment bounced back to $116 billion in 2025, though deal volume fell for a fourth straight year to 4,719 deals.
That means average deal sizes grew. Investors became more selective, concentrating capital in fewer, larger rounds. Visa and other major payment networks continued to make strategic acquisitions in this environment.
| Year | Total Investment | Deal Count |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | $229.6 billion | N/A |
| 2023 | $119.8 billion | 5,382 |
| 2024 | $95.6 billion | 4,639 |
| 2025 | $116 billion | 4,719 |
