FinTech Top Acquirers

Consolidation in FinTech has continued apace, but the buyer universe looks materially different to prior years. Goldenhill's 2025 list features 12 of the most active FinTech acquirers, reflecting the breadth of activity now playing out across digital payments, crypto and digital assets, RegTech, wealth and investment management software, and embedded finance.

The US remains the largest single market — 7 of the 12 are US-headquartered, but the buyer base is now markedly more international than in prior years, with active acquirers based in the UK (FE Fundinfo), Switzerland (SIX Group), Germany (Regnology), Brazil (Bemobi) and Australia (Airwallex).

Ownership has also shifted. Only 3 of the 12 are listed companies (Clearwater Analytics, Bemobi and FIS); the remainder are privately held — predominantly PE-backed platforms (FE fundinfo, Payroc, Kinective, Regnology) alongside venture-backed scale-ups in crypto and payments (Ripple, Paxos, Kraken, Airwallex). SIX Group is mutually owned by Swiss and Liechtenstein financial institutions.

At Goldenhill, we have established relationships with these FinTech buyers as well as most of the other firms who are actively acquiring in the space.
