Statistics from the German ecosystem as of August 2024

These are the latest statistics about FinTech in Germany. The number of FinTech is plateauing. Some newcomers can just replace the recent dropouts. Funding is slowly picking up again, at least in total volume. With some more activities in autumn, we might come close to 2022 numbers. However, the number of funding rounds might end at an 8-year low. The overall value of the German FinTech ecosystem is about 54 bn euros.
