Cardiff-headquartered ANNA Money has been named in the very first edition of the CNBC UK’s Top FinTech Companies Special Report.
After publishing numerous lists of the World’s Top FinTech Companies, the American business news channel CNBC has teamed up with market research firm Statista to publish a new UK-focused special report identifying the top 150 fintechs in the UK across seven different market sectors, based on KPIs and sector-specific metrics for their category.
ANNA appears in the ‘neobanking’ category for digital-only financial institutions.
“With a centuries-old financial services sector, and attracting more FinTech VC investments than any other European country, the UK is a significant global hub for FinTechs and one of the world’s largest markets for financial technology,’ says CNBC. “The neobanking segment in particular has flourished in the UK thanks to fintech-friendly rules devised by regulators after the global financial crisis to make the banking sector more competitive.”
Eduard Panteleev, ANNA Money’s co-founder and co-CEO, said:
“We don’t do what we do to win awards or accolades – we do it to make running a business easier for our customers. But being named as a top UK neobank by CNBC, a world leader in business news whose content is consumed by millions of people globally, is very pleasing, and we’d like to thank both CNBC and Statista for including us – it’s a great honour.”
ANNA Money is an AI-powered business account and tax app which aims to streamline financial management for SMEs.
The firm was also in Bloomberg’s 25 Startups to Watch in 2024 list, was featured in the CB Insights Top 100, ranked #26 in the Deloitte Fast 50 and #18 in The Sunday Times 100 Tech List.
