3 fintechs made it to this year’s TOP 100 Swiss Startup list, an award organised by Venturelab.
The 2026 edition of the ranking includes three fintech companies, a more selective representation for the sector than in previous years.
Several familiar names return to the list in 2026, with this year’s fintechs spanning employee insurance, carbon credit risk and AI-driven asset management.
Of the 3 fintechs, 2 were repeats from the 2024 ranking and 1 was a repeat from the 2025 ranking.
While fintech remains a key part of Switzerland’s startup landscape, its presence in this year’s list is notably leaner.
