&lt;p&gt;Today, we’re excited to release our inaugural &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/fintech&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Vault Fintech 100&lt;/a&gt;, a list of the most outstanding fintech employers to work for. We created this list to recognize those fintech firms that offer outstanding careers for students and young professionals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our Methodology&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To determine the Fintech 100,&#160;we considered more than 500 fintech employers&#160;that have&#160;significant operations in the U.S. and primarily operate in one of the following nine fintech sectors: alternative finance, banking solutions, business solutions, crypto/digital assets, financial planning, neobanking, payments, Insurtech, and wealth technology. To come up with this pool of firms, our editorial team pored through fintech journals, blogs, news outlets, and other industry rankings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once we collected this pool of employers, each firm was assessed on the following four factors: &lt;em&gt;Stability&lt;/em&gt; (annual revenues, headcount, years in business), &lt;em&gt;Opportunity&lt;/em&gt; (full-time job openings, internship programs, recent investment funding), &lt;em&gt;Values&lt;/em&gt; (mission, culture, inclusivity, benefits), and &lt;em&gt;Reputation&lt;/em&gt; (brand recognition in and outside the industry). These four factors were weighed equally to create the 2025 Vault Fintech 100.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why Fintech?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more than 25 years, Vault has been the leader in the professional services career space. Most prominently, that space has included law, finance, consulting, and accounting careers. In recent years, with the rapid evolution of technology and disruption in the financial services space, a new sector has been on a meteoric rise: &lt;em&gt;fintech.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the past decade, venture capital investments have been flooding the fintech sector, and fintech innovations have been disrupting traditional financial services across various sectors. Annual fintech revenues worldwide are expected to increase from $295 billion in 2023 to $1.5 trillion by 2032. That’s nearly a 20 percent compound annual growth rate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leading that charge are companies like &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/financial-technology/paypal&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;PayPal&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/financial-technology/block&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Block&lt;/a&gt; (formerly Square), which have revolutionized payment processing, offering faster and more convenient transaction methods. In addition, digital-only banks (often referred to as neobanks) like &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/financial-technology/current&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Current&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/financial-technology/mercury&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Mercury&lt;/a&gt; have been disrupting the commercial banking space, offering lower fees, better interest rates, and improved customer service. And digital platforms such as &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/financial-technology/angellist&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Angellist&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/financial-technology/republic&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Republic&lt;/a&gt; have been streamlining lending and investment processes, making it easier for small and medium-sized businesses to access funding.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, innovations by “Insurtech” firms like &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/financial-technology/guidewire&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Guidewire&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/financial-technology/hippo&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Hippo&lt;/a&gt; have vastly streamlined and improved processes in the insurance industry. The rapid rise in the use of and investment in digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum by companies like &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/financial-technology/coinbase&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Coinbase&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/financial-technology/kraken&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Kraken&lt;/a&gt; has increased access (particularly to underserved communities) to financial services around the world. And wealth technology companies such as &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/financial-technology/acorns&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Acorns&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/financial-technology/betterment&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Betterment&lt;/a&gt; have been disrupting the personal finance and investment advice space.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Early Talent Opportunities &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This expansion has led to significant employment opportunities, as innovative firms, both large and small, within the fintech space are looking to increase their teams, particularly in roles that blend finance and tech skills. And in recent years, much of the early talent that once targeted careers in finance, consulting, or accounting are now instead looking to join the fintech industry—considered by many to be the most exciting to work to in.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For those young professionals looking to break into fintech, Vault offers extensive advice on &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/blogs/job-search/how-to-evaluate-a-fintech-startup-before-joining-a-job-seeker-s-guide&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;how to evaluate fintech startups&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/blogs/resumes-cover-letters/breaking-into-fintech-how-to-craft-a-resume-and-cover-letter-that-stands-out&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;how to write fintech-specific resumes and cover letters&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/blogs/interviewing/fintech-interview-questions-what-to-expect-and-how-to-answer-like-a-pro&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;how to answer common interview questions fintech firms ask&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/blogs/salary-and-benefits/5-fastest-growing-fintech-careers-in-2025&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;which career paths in fintech are growing fastest&lt;/a&gt;, and more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;But the best place to start is&#160;researching the&#160;firms that made our inaugural &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/fintech&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Vault Fintech 100&lt;/a&gt;, which is sortable by location and sector.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
