The Fintechly
101.
Published every January, the Fintechly 101 recognises 101 people for what they have achieved over the past year, where they are heading next, and the impact they are set to make. Together, they make up our Class of 2027.
From founders and product leaders to marketers, operators and compliance professionals, the 101 celebrates the people driving the industry forward. It is selected independently by the Fintechly editorial team from nominations submitted through the year and people tracked in the Fintechly Index.
