Profitability Holds the Key for Fintech’s Revival, Not
Growth at All Costs

The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and QED Investors report highlights a shift in the fintech industry from a "growth at all costs" approach to a focus on profitability and unit economics. Despite a 70% drop in funding and lowered valuation multiples, fintech revenues grew by 14% between 2021 and 2023. Key trends driving the industry include embedded finance, connected commerce, modest impacts of open banking, and generative AI enhancing productivity. Prudence, profitability, and sustainable growth are deemed paramount for success. Governments are investing in digital public infrastructure to support this shift, signaling an ongoing transformation within the financial tech sector.
