The Fintech Sector: An Update on Hiring and Expansion
The fintech segment experienced significant growth during the pandemic and its immediate aftermath. However, in 2024, it had a relatively rough year, marked by the abrupt shutdown and subsequent acquisition of accounting startup Bench.
While the rapid pace of funding has slowed down, some fintech companies are still continuing to see growth and expand their teams. In an effort to better understand which fintechs might be hiring, we put out a call for fintech companies with open positions a few months ago.
