GlobalData’s head of banking and fintech, Kit Carson, said:
“It’s great to see so many influential femtech voices spread throughout the wider fintech industry.
“While there has been significant progress made to encourage women into financial services, nothing works better than seeing women make waves and succeed. Fintech embraces great ideas and solutions, and women have been just as instrumental as men in driving forward the ecosystem.
“London and New York are clearly still the centre of much of the world’s fintech activity and it will interesting to see how this changes over time as other fintech hubs develop.”
