TOP 10
08
Bengaluru
Most valuable fintech :
Razorpay Value ( in USD ): $ 3bn
Mumbai might be one of the first Indian cities that come to mind as a finance hub , yet Bengaluru has recently been given the accolade of the
fastest-growing tech hub since 2016 .
One of the reasons for this is goverment-led efforts to increase digital adoption throughout the country , including internet and smartphone penetration . Bengaluru ’ s workforce demographic is also perfectly configured to function as a fintech hub : technical skills in both finance and technology are readily available .
07
Berlin
Most valuable fintech :
N26 Value ( in USD ): $ 3.5bn
Berlin generates the second-highest amount of fintech investment in Europe per year , overtaken only by London .
In fact , this German city might be poised to become London ’ s successor as the EU ’ s prime financial hub . A strong pool of skilled labour is available and leading challenger bank N26 is a testament to its technological development .
With other Big Tech firms ( Facebook and Airbnb ) also opting to open offices in Berlin , we may indeed be witnessing its growth into a fintech hub of even greater renown .
