Though the country's fintech ecosystem is considered one of the top three globally funded sectors in 2024, after the US and the UK, it managed to raise only $1.9 billion in 2024, which is a 33% drop compared to $2.8 billion secured in 2023 and a 66% decline from $5.6 billion raised in 2022, according to data shared by market intelligence platform Tracxn.

The funding landscape in 2024 saw a significant shift, with only three $100 million-plus funding rounds recorded, marking a 50% decline from the six such rounds in 2023. Some of the notable deals in 2024 included DMI Finance's $334 million funding led by MUFG, and Credit Saison's, an online marketplace for consumer and business loans, $144 million in a Series D funding round.
