Digital banking startups are hot again

After several slow quarters, we are seeing a recovery in funding for digital banking startups.

Over the past three months, investors have poured nearly $1.2 billion into a geographically dispersed group of online banking providers, according to data from Crunchbase. Three of the biggest funding recipients… A, Type And Current – announced new rounds last week.

The biggest haul went to One, a Sacramento, Calif.-based startup offering online banking, debit cards and installment loans for purchases at Walmartits majority shareholder. Walmart and fintech investor Ribbit Capital led a $300 million funding round for a reported valuation of $2.5 billion.

Tyme, which offers digital banking services in South Africa and the Philippines, won the second largest fundraising round: a $250 million Series D round. Nubanque led the financing, which pegs a $1.5 billion valuation for the 5-year-old, Singapore-headquartered company.

Current, based in New York, announcement its latest fundraising last week: a financing of 200 million dollars which brings the investment to date to more than 600 million dollars. The company says its revenue is up more than 90% this year and it is targeting profitability in 2025.

These three weren’t the only ones raising money. Using Crunchbase dataWe’ve compiled a list of seven digital banking startups that have disclosed significant new funding over the past four months.

Time to go out

This wave of financing comes against a backdrop of anticipation of a return to the stock market of fintechs in 2025, with several big names preparing offers.

One of the hottest companies is based in San Francisco Carillona pioneering challenger bank founded in 2012 that has raised $2.3 billion in known equity capital to date. The company would have filed confidentially for an IPO, with Morgan Stanley asked to lead the offer.

Chime, an early entrant into the digital banking space, presents itself as a “user-friendly” alternative to traditional banks, with no overdraft fees or minimum balance requirements. Today there would be approximately 7 million users and makes its money primarily through interchange fees that merchants pay on card purchases.

Another spectacular fintech debut expected in 2025 is the Swedish “buy now, pay later” platform. Klarnawhich revealed last month that it had confidentially filed for an IPO in the United States. If successful, a Klarna IPO could go a long way toward reinvigorating public investors’ appetite for new fintech offerings.

Other big names are also being hyped as potential IPO candidates, including Banda perennial favorite that has until now remained private. Among neobanks, a UK-based banking app Revolution would consider an offer in the United States. Additionally, the Berlin-based digital bank N26 recently disclosed its first quarterly earnings and revenue estimates, which is the kind of move startups make when they’re on the path to an IPO.

Public markets seem favorable to fintech lately

Public markets also seem more receptive to fintech newcomers lately. In particular, several of the largest companies that went public during the 2020-2021 IPO and SPAC boom and saw their shares fall during the subsequent correction have since recovered nicely.

Installment lender AffirmShares of have risen several-fold since last year, with the company recently valued at around $20 billion in market capitalization. Consumer lender and financial service provider actions SoFi has seen a similar rise, with the company recently valued at around $17 billion.

Coinbase And Robin Hood have also climbed in recent months, buoyed by investor enthusiasm around crypto.

For the neobank space, barometer Nubanquewhich trades as Nu Holdings, hit a high in October. Shares have declined somewhat since then, but the company still enjoys a strong market cap of around $55 billion.

It was time

The cycles are turning, and for fintech and challenger banks, it appears we are entering a more bullish phase.

Of course, this is not a given. The market liquidation this week following the Federal Reserve‘s warnings, for example, about future rate cuts, have led fintechs to erase some of their recent gains. We also haven’t seen a fintech unicorn hit the US public markets in recent quarters, so it’s unclear how receptive it will be.

Still, given that just a few years ago fintech was the reigning leader in startup funding, it doesn’t seem unreasonable for those who survived the crisis to take advantage of better times ahead.
