After a year of new developments and the growth of our product portfolio, we would like to share the global situation of FinTechs companies.
A quick look around is enough to see how we have changed the landscape of finance due to open banking.
Like every year, Open Future World has prepared its annual ranking of the most innovative Fintechs after tracking more than 1,000 organizations in 80 countries.
The financial startups that we mention below are changing the landscape of the sector with their developments and we look at them to be better every day. The most important are in the UK and the US, but Mexico sneaks into the top 10 this year.
What can we expect from 2023 in fintech?
Open banking is on its way to transform international finance and we will surely see a multitude of innovations related to payment methods, loyalty, financial inclusion and enrichment of bank data.
The following list shows us that innovation has no borders. In addition, developers are moving forward in their continuous search for novelties anywhere on the planet.
As Scale up FinTech, at Coinscrap Finance we continue to bet on research to offer unique novelties that will allow us to appear in the Open Future World ranking next year.

The 8 most successful fintechs in 2022
1st place: Plaid

“As a result, more customers are asking Plaid to solve a broader range of needs (…) including identity verification, onboarding (…) and deeper insights that help create better decisions and connected experiences.”
Plaid was acquired by Visa in 2020.
2nd place: Nordigen
“Open banking is literally the pipeline that allows the free flow of data”, says Rolands Mesters, executive director of Latvian FinTech, for sifted.eu. Mara Perkuma-Maslakova, public relations manager, added:
“Open banking can help simplify property management while providing tools to improve the tenants’ living experience.”

“TrueLayer attracts the best professionals in the global payments industry, bringing together experts from companies such as Adyen, Amazon, Klarna and others, in order to promote open banking.”
Max Emilyson, Director of Revenues, told europapress.es.

5th place: Tink
“We realized that the personal finance and payments industry was still under the control of the big traditional banks. We wanted (…) a place open to disruption where we could have a significant impact.”
Commented Daniel Kjellén and Frederik Hegberg, co-founders, to fintechmagazine.com about their beginnings.
“We’ve always looked at this through the same lens: ‘Is this going to increase the likelihood that open banking will grow globally?’ And if the answer was affirmative, they went ahead with everything… and it worked! Now they have clients like PayPal, American Express, Caixa Geral de Depósitos or BNP Paribas.”
6th place: Shared between Moneyhub and Yapily
“We are at the forefront of the data and payments revolution. Our open data solutions (…) have the ability to help companies with their growth objectives and, in turn, improve the financial lives of their customers”, declared to thefintechtimes.com Samantha Seaton, CEO of Moneyhub, last december. His clients include OneBanks, AON and OpenMoney.
Stefano Vaccino, CEO and founder of Yapily, mentions in an interview for retailbankerinternational.com:
“In 2023, we will see that consumers and companies will increasingly rely on fintech solutions to address the impact of current economic problems.”
