CHANGING PAYMENTS GLOBALLY
Welcome to the latest issue of FinTech Magazine. Over the last month we’ ve been buoyed by reports that global fintech funding showed signs of renewed momentum in the latter half of 2025 – growth evidenced by many of the stories in this issue.
Take Klarna CEO and cover star Sebastian Siemiatkowski’ s decision to move the bank into the crypto market, promising to“ change payments globally”. A statement of intent, the decision shows the kind of strategic response that happens when industry momentum shifts.
Elsewhere, we take a look at how NOTO is using advanced technologies like AI and ML to secure finance – crucial at a time of growth and expansion – and take a deepdive into the Top 10 know your customer platforms helping insurers fight fraud and streamline services.
Enjoy the issue.
