Fintech funding declines 14% to €2.43B
90 days to 2026-10-20
Fintech funding fell to €2.43B in the 90 days to 20 October 2026, down from €2.83B in the prior 90-day period, a decline of 14%. Deal count also slipped, from 61 to 58, indicating fewer rounds alongside the lower capital total rather than a shift driven by a handful of large deals.
Among the twelve sectors tracked, Fintech ranks third by recent funding, behind AI's €5.06B and Cloud's €5.58B, and just ahead of Healthtech's €2.26B. Its 14% decline is milder than several peers: Healthtech dropped 32% and Software fell 44% over the same comparison, while Robotics fell 71%. By contrast, AI grew 8% and Cloud rose 47% despite fewer deals. Fintech's pattern of both lower capital and fewer deals places it among the sectors contracting on both dimensions, though less sharply than Healthtech, Software, Robotics, Space, Deeptech and Semiconductors, all of which also recorded declines in the same period.
