🚀 Australia’s next wave of FinTech innovation is here — ARE YOU IN THE ROOM?

Australia’s FinTech industry has become a standout within our broader tech landscape, with companies like Afterpay, Zip, Airwallex, Judo Bank, Up Bank, CoinJar, Zeller, Superhero, Stake and Swyftx leading the way (to name just a few!). It’s no coincidence that these global FinTech giants originated here — Australia has world-class talent, a strong financial services backbone, and a culture of digital innovation — this is just the start of a much larger wave of FinTech innovation coming out of Australia.

FinTech in Australia has grown rapidly from just a $250 million industry in 2015 to a $45 billion industry, employing more than 36,000 Australians today and continues to grow. We rank among the most sophisticated fintech sectors globally.

Unfortunately, FinTech has historically been difficult for Australian investors to access. This means that investors and operators within our ecosystem simply miss opportunities to build wealth and lead innovation from this fast-growing industry.
