The Financial Technology Report is pleased to announce the Top 50 Financial Technology CEOs of 2021. This year’s leaders are capitalizing on one of the fastest growing industries globally.

Across personal finance, insurance, payments, investment management, cryptocurrency trading, real estate, and other areas, the companies represented on this year’s award list have developed innovative ways to improve financial processes for consumers and businesses alike. Notably, they have focused on making financial services more accessible, using advanced AI, machine learning, and API technology to remove traditional roadblocks and improve the speed and convenience of financial interactions.
