The total reported FinTech transaction value reached $72.5 billion in the first half of 2026, already surpassing the total disclosed value recorded during all of 2025. As in prior periods, only a portion of FinTech transactions disclosed financial terms. During H1 2026, 18% of announced M&A deals reported transaction values, meaning actual market value was likely significantly higher than disclosed figures suggest.

Building on the strong momentum seen in 2025, 361 FinTech acquisitions were announced in H1 2026, highlighting the sector’s continued attractiveness to buyers. Strategic acquirers remained highly active and represented a little over three-quarters of all transactions, while private equity firms continued to participate consistently, accounting for approximately 23% of deal volume.
