Wallester Ranked Among Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies by Financial Times & Statista

Wallester has been named one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies in the prestigious FT1000 ranking for 2025, compiled by the Financial Times and Statista. Securing the 47th position overall, 7th in the Fintech, Financial Services & Insurance category, and 1st place among Estonian companies, Wallester has cemented its status as a leader in the fintech sector.

A Milestone Recognition in Fintech

The FT1000 Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies ranking highlights businesses demonstrating exceptional revenue growth and innovation. The annual list evaluates companies based on their compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenues over a three-year period. Wallester’s strong performance underscores its role in revolutionising financial solutions, particularly in the card-issuing and payment technology space.

“This recognition validates our commitment to providing cutting-edge payment solutions that help businesses move faster and operate more efficiently,” said Sergei Astafjev, CEO and Co-Founder of Wallester. “Being listed among the top 50 companies in Europe on our first appearance is a tremendous achievement and a testament to the dedication of our team.”

Driving Innovation in Payments

Wallester is at the forefront of transforming business payments, offering scalable, flexible card-issuing solutions tailored to modern financial needs. As one of only four Estonian companies included in the FT1000 and the sole Estonian company to rank within the Top 50, Wallester’s rapid growth reflects the increasing demand for streamlined and innovative financial technology solutions.

The FT1000 ranking was first introduced in 2017 and has since become one of the most prestigious growth-based awards in Europe, gaining recognition from investors, business leaders, and policymakers.

Looking Ahead

With this milestone achievement, Wallester remains focused on expanding its services and driving further innovation in the fintech space. As the company continues its rapid growth trajectory, it aims to redefine how businesses manage payments and financial operations on a global scale.
