Fintech Startups in Australia: 50 You Can’t Miss

There is a lot happening when it comes to fintech startups in Australia. In the past few years the industry has come into its own, even getting its own industry awards, the Finnies, to acknowledge excellence in the space. This year, the number of entrants for the awards hit 223, a 40 per cent increase from 2017 – proof that the industry is booming. You can check out this year’s winners at fintech Australia.  

Not only is the industry growing, but the space is also gaining more support from the government to help the companies within it to innovate and scale. This year we saw the UK-Australia FinTech Bridge deal signed by Treasurer Scott Morrison and the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond, an agreement which helps the two governments to identify emerging fintech trends and policy issues, enabling better policy responses and faster licence processing. The deal could be a boom for Australian fintech startups looking to expand.

It’s fair to say that fintech in Australia, fintech in Melbourne and fintech in Sydney is thriving. Employment at these companies is understandably in high demand, with many offering a great workplace culture and awesome office spaces. We want to celebrate the rise of these fintech startups.
