The average time it has taken UK Fintech Unicorns to achieve unicorn status is 8 years.
Fintechs across the UK are thriving with higher concentrations in London, followed by regional centers like Manchester, Leeds and Edinburgh.
Companies in the Payments space dominate the unicorn list and lead in terms of their ability to capture funding.
28 Fintech M&A transactions were completed in 2020 and volume has not slowed down in 2021, with 19 deals just in H1. EV/EBITDA multiples in the UK remain within historical bounds.
Foreign capital still takes the larger share of private equity investment into the sector but UK-based Private Equity/Venture Capital (PE/VC) firms, for example, Seedcamp and Balderton Capital, are contributing to the growth of domestic Fintech firms.
