(Here\u2019s last year\u2019s Fintech 50.) From digital banks and payments startups to fraud prevention firms and cryptocurrency businesses trying to build a new financial system, these companies are improving the cost, efficiency and access of financial services.<\/p>\n<p><fbs-ad position=\"top\" progressive=\"\" ad-id=\"article-0-top\"><\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re updating the list for the ninth year, a months-long process that involves a team of 10 reporters and editors. We divide the work into fintech subcategories, speak with industry investors, analysts, entrepreneurs and executives, evaluate hundreds of businesses and ultimately choose 50.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please note: <\/strong>Our 2024 list is happening earlier in the year than it typically does to align with our print magazine schedule. It will likely be published in February 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Please read our methodology below before applying. The more you can share about your company\u2019s growth, including revenue over the past two years, the more likely you\u2019ll stand out among your peers.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\"><strong>Fintech 50 Methodology<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We look for companies making a deep impact on consumers and businesses through innovation. This typically means they\u2019re growing faster than competitors, regularly releasing new products or making major strategic improvements\u2014not simply offering services that have looked the same for years.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t base the list solely on quantitative metrics or require a minimum amount of revenue or number of customers. We also don\u2019t have a cap for business size. The companies we select tend to be venture-backed startups, since they\u2019re often best equipped to drive industry change, but we\u2019re happy to consider bootstrapped startups, too. Public companies or their subsidiaries are not eligible for the Fintech 50.<\/p>\n<p><fbs-ad position=\"topx\" progressive=\"\" ad-id=\"article-0-topx-1\"><\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n<p>Other important criteria we consider for each candidate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How much it has grown in sales and\/or customers over the past year and how that compares with the growth of competitors.<\/li>\n<li>Whether it has a live product available to the public, or one that will soon be available.<\/li>\n<li>Novelty of the product and business model.<\/li>\n<li>Whether it has significant operations or headquarters in the U.S.<\/li>\n<li>Diversity of the leadership team.<\/li>\n<li>We define fintech companies as those that apply technology to the categories of business-to-business banking (including banking-as-a-service and corporate cards), insurance, investing (both consumer-facing and business-to-business), payments, personal finance (consumer-facing businesses in areas such as digital banking, consumer lending, budgeting, etc.), real estate, Wall Street and enterprise (also includes fraud prevention) and other business-to-business financial software. We consider blockchain and cryptocurrency companies for this list.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\">Fintech 50 Application Form<\/h2>\n<p>To apply, please complete the Fintech 50 application form by EOD Wednesday, 12\/6\/23.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sigfile article-body fs-responsive-text font-body\"><span>Follow me on\u00a0<\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/www.twitter.com\/jeffkauflin\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0LinkedIn.\u00a0<span>Check out\u00a0<\/span>my\u00a0website.\u00a0<span>Send me a secure\u00a0tip<\/span>.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"bottom-contrib-block\">\n<div class=\"fs-author-group-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"contrib-byline\"><\/div>\n<p><fbs-cordial type=\"Follow\" natural-id=\"blogAuthorId\/blog\/author\/2273336\" author-slug=\"jeffkauflin\" page-position=\"bottom\"><\/fbs-cordial><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jeffkauflin\/2023\/11\/16\/the-forbes-fintech-50-apply-for-our-2024-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the past eight years, we\u2019ve published our annual Fintech 50 list, covering the top private companies that are transforming finance through technology.
