The number of UK FinTech unicorns has now hit 46.

The research, which has been carried out by valuation data platform Multiples, includes neobanks, payments infra, insurance, wealth management, lending, and crypto.

The majority of UK FinTech unicorns are still private.

Only a handful are public (like Wise or Admiral), and several have already been acquired (e.g. Preqin or esure).

The list is broken down into valuation; revenue multiple; and ownership.

Revolut top the list after being valued at $75bn in November, 2025.

Another company to make the list is Cleo, which was founded by Barney Hussey-Yeo to change the way customers manage their money through its AI-powered technology.
