In an industry that has experienced substantial growth across the board over the past year, these executives and their highly successful companies have stood out in the European market and beyond. Traditional banking and financial services are steadily becoming the way of the past as FinTech companies allow businesses and consumers to conveniently, efficiently, and securely manage their financial activities from their computers and mobile devices. This year’s awardees have led the development of innovative products and services across the payments, lending, insurance, and investment spheres, with an eye towards revolutionizing the overall finance sector.

Notably, several of the leading companies recognized on this year’s list have experienced significant growth over the past year.
