🤔 Did you know? The 3 leading verticals of fintechs in Barcelona are Corporate Finance and Treasury, PayTech, and PropTech. - 🥇 Corporate Finance and Treasury: 23 companies (17% of total fintechs); e.g. Kantox, Holded, and Novicap - 🥈 PayTech: 18 companies (14%); e.g. PayRetailers, TropiPay, and Thunes - 🥉 PropTech: 17 companies (13%); e.g. Payli, Aldara and Amenitiz Some of the examples above also show the challenges in determining fintechs and their exact verticals. Especially with the rise of embedded banking and finance solutions, which allow virtually any company from any industry become a "fintech". To illustrate the complexity, take Starbucks. Are they a fintech? At first glance you may wonder what they have to do with fintech at all. Well, what if I told you that in the US, 41% of their customers regularly pay via Starbucks Cards in branch stores and 21% via the Starbucks App. And that in 2021, the balance on Starbucks Cards reached approximately $1.64 billion, surpassing the deposit amounts of over 85% of U.S. banks. Not so easy to make a call now, does it? For that very purpose, we frequently have debates internally and conduct careful evaluations to ensure all companies that make our Barcelona fintech database are a fit. Speaking of, since our last update a week ago, thanks to the incredible support of you - our community - our Barcelona fintech database has grown from 126 companies to 132 (and we know there are still more to add). So help us continue to grow and map the full breadth of our ecosystem!
