20 Fastest Growing Fintech Companies In 2024

In this piece, we will take a look at the twenty fastest fintech companies in 2024. If you want to skip our overview of the financial technology industry and all the recent trends and developments, then you can take a look at the 5 Fastest Growing Fintech Companies In 2024.

Just like nearly every other industry out there, like industrial manufacturing and healthcare, finance has also been significantly disrupted by the onset of computing. Modern day financial systems are significantly different from what we were used to just a couple of years back. Global inter connectivity has meant that transferring funds worldwide takes just a couple of minutes or days depending on jurisdictions. At the same time, consumers no longer have to go to their banks to access their money since online and internet banking has provided them with greater flexibility.

Similarly, just as today’s banking is vastly different from the past, banks are not the only financial companies that regular consumers and businesses can use to manage their money. A growing sector of the market is dominated by firms that are part of the financial technology industry. These firms can be firms that offer digital wallets, like PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL), or payment gateways like Visa Inc. (NYSE:V). Additionally, the global rise in Internet use has also provided humanity with its own set of digital currencies – the most popular of which is the cryptocurrency coin Bitcoin.

Like all other stocks, financial technology stocks are also dependent on the broader market for their performance. For most of these firms, a robust economy is good for price performance. This is due to the nature of their business models. Firms like PayPal and Block, Inc. (NYSE:SQ) benefit from a robust economy because people are more likely to use their services. This means that the firms earn more commission, and as a result, investors also feel more confident in betting on their shares for future growth.

To see how this works, let’s consider Block and PayPal’s share price performance over the past 12 months and 2022. Starting from NYSE:SQ, the biggest catalyst to its share price over the past year came in October 2023 when the firm released its earnings results for the third quarter of 2023. This revealed that its premier product, CashApp, doubled monthly active users from June for a fresh tally of two million. This also accompanied an all time record for payment volumes, with the figure jumping to a cool $113 million. Naturally, investors were pleased as the shares soared by 11% in the immediate aftermath of the results.

Rewinding the hands of time to see how Block’s stock was doing in 2022 – when most of the market was convinced that a recession was just on the horizon – the shares sank a stunning 61% during the year. To jog your memory, in 2022 nearly all high growth and technology stocks, whether those in the consumer arena such as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) or others like Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), had tanked and lost double digit percentages in the value due to rapidly rising interest rates and inflation. For Block, the downward spiral started at the tail end of December 2021 when it tried its hand at rebranding and jumped into crypto right at the cusp of Bitcoin’s share price crash.

However, while Block has done well over the past 12 months, PayPal hasn’t fared so well. Despite the fact that falling inflation, rising wages, and artificial intelligence have grown consumer and investor confidence in the stock market and the economy, PayPal is struggling because investors expect it to capture lucrative areas of the transaction processing market such as cross border payments. However, as other sources continue to contribute to growth, the stock is seeing restrained love despite the potential that artificial intelligence offers the payments service and digital wallet provider to streamline its services and reduce fraud. And just like Block, PayPal’s shares also bled 62% in 2022, with Q4 2021 earnings igniting a bloodbath after management chose to focus on revenue per user instead of user growth.

Yet, the future might be brighter for PayPal, and here’s what Wedgewood Partners, had to say about the firm in its fourth quarter of 2023 investor letter:

PayPal Holdings also contributed less to portfolio performance than most holdings during the fourth quarter. The total payment volume handled by PayPal during its most recent quarter grew +15%, which helped drive healthy revenue growth and +20% earnings per share growth. Critically, the Company’s new management team has significant opportunity to drive more revenue and earnings growth across the massive, multi-trillion-dollar payments addressable market. PayPal’s rapidly growing payment processing brand, Braintree, represents one of those revenue growth opportunities, either by raising prices, as 7 the Company had previously used a low-price strategy to establish a beachhead in this market, or by adding value-added services. PayPal’s branded checkout remains the largest volume and profit driver for the business, and we expect this to continue to track in-line with e-commerce growth in the near term, and eventually take share as the Company rolls out new features to its over +400 million users and +30 million merchants. We added to our position with the stock trading at just 10X forward earnings estimates during the quarter because there are many more long-term growth opportunities relative to most financial companies that trade for similar multiples and compared to technology companies that trade for much higher multiples.

With these details in mind, let’s look at some of the fastest growing financial technology companies. A couple of notable picks are Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT), Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:MARA), and Lemonade, Inc. (NYSE:LMND).

Our Methodology

To make our list of the fastest growing financial technology companies in 2024, we ranked the U.S. based holdings of the Global X FinTech ETF by their fiver year annualized revenue growth rate and picked the fintech companies with the fastest growth. A five year rate instead of a three year rate was chosen because it removes the impact of macroeconomic fluctuations of recent years.

Disclosure. None. 20 Fastest Growing Fintech Companies In 2024 was initially published on Insider Monkey.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:

A few years from now, you’ll wish you’d owned this stock.

The best part? You can discover everything about this company and its groundbreaking technology right now.

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

  • It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
  • It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
  • It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

  • The AI infrastructure supercycle
  • The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
  • A surge in U.S. LNG exports
  • And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners, and AI is the winning ticket.

The Talent Pool is Overflowing: The world’s brightest minds are flocking to AI.

From computer scientists to mathematicians, the next generation of innovators is pouring its energy into this field.

This influx of talent guarantees a constant stream of groundbreaking ideas and rapid advancements.

By investing in AI, you’re essentially backing the future.

The future is powered by artificial intelligence, and the time to invest is NOW.
