Q1 2022 insights into Fintech.

Claudio Alvarez, Partner at GP Bullhound, commented: “While fundraising and M&A activities in fintech slowed slightly in Q1 versus the highs of 2021, the market remained very active, not least due to the completion of Block’s acquisition of Afterpay, and a few other large funding rounds. Several trends are driving fintech this quarter – Big Tech is joining challenger banks in disrupting the status quo of legacy banks; corporate card and spend management platforms are attracting unprecedented interest from SMBs, resulting in large investments from growth funds; and a new race to replicate the model of WeChat and Alipay to become ‘the SuperApp of the West’ is now on.”
