Specialist research firm Fintech Global has released its annual WealthTech100 list, which recognizes the 100 most innovative wealthtech companies in the world. This year, 14 Swiss companies made the list.
Over the past four years, the global wealthtech industry has witnessed significant growth with funding going towards companies in the space skyrocketing from US$2.8 billion in 2016 to over US$7.8 billion in 2019, according to Fintech Global.
