Australian Fintech: Leading The World
With over 800 fintech companies based in all Australian State and Territory capitals, Australia has one of the world’s most exciting and dynamic fintech industries. In fact, the Australian fintech industry is estimated to grow from a $250 million industry in 2015 to a $4 billion industry by 2020. Australia is suited on the doorstep to Asia, which is increasingly home to the world’s economic centre of gravity. This makes Australia a great location for companies wanting to establish their Asian regional headquarters. Australian fintech companies are also keen to explore opportunities to grow into international markets, including through forming partnerships with overseas fintechs.
The majority of Australian fintech firms are founded or led by experienced financial services professionals, who are passionate about finding new ways to deliver financial services to the benefit of customers. Fintech companies provide a diverse range of product offerings for businesses and retail consumers internationally.
