Daily research from FinTech Global Average LATAM FinTech deal size tripled, resulting in funding growth of 15% in H1 In H1 2024, the Latin American FinTech market saw mixed performance in terms of deal activity and funding. Only 79 deals were recorded in the first half of the year, marking a 58% decline compared to the 189 deals completed in H1 2023. However, despite the sharp drop in deal numbers, Latin American FinTech companies raised $1.17bn in H1 2024, a 15% increase over the $1.02bn raised in the same period the previous year. This suggests that although fewer deals were made, the investments were larger on average. However, H2 2023 was a notably stronger period for funding, with $1.7bn raised, indicating a trend of more robust investment activity in the latter half of the year. The average deal value in H1 2024 was approximately $14.8m, a significant rise compared to $5.4m in H1 2023, reflecting a near 3x increase. This surge in average deal size suggests that even as deal activity slowed, investors are focusing on fewer but larger, higher-value opportunities, possibly targeting more mature FinTech companies or larger-scale projects in the region. This shift could reflect a growing focus on stability and profitability as Latin America's FinTech sector continues to mature and attract significant funding despite economic challenges. Celcoin, a leading company in the Banking as a Service (BaaS) financial technology market, secured the largest funding deal in Latin America for the first half of 2024 with a $125m investment led by global growth equity investor Summit Partners. Known for its investments in market-leading FinTech companies like EngageSmart and Corpay, Summit Partners was joined by existing investor Innova Capital and seasoned FinTech executive John Coughlin in this round. Founded in 2016, Celcoin provides financial infrastructure services for banks, FinTechs, and enterprises, focusing on payments, banking, and lending to enable personalized embedded finance solutions. With over 400 financial industry customers and more than 5,000 non-financial companies leveraging its offerings, Celcoin’s robust platform processes over 200m Pix transactions monthly. The new capital will support Celcoin’s expansion plans, further strengthening its leadership position in the BaaS and embedded finance markets, while driving continued innovation. The investment comes as Celcoin experiences strong momentum, recording $63m in annual recurring revenue in Q1 2024—a 140% increase year-over-year—alongside strategic acquisitions like Galax Pay, Flow Finance, Finansystech, and Reg+.

Daily research from FinTech Global Sydney-based Betashares leads the pack for the biggest Australian FinTech deal in H1 In H1 2024, the Australian FinTech sector experienced a significant decline in both deal activity and funding. Only 34 deals were recorded during the first half of the year, representing a 62% drop compared to the 89 deals completed in H1 2023. Funding saw an even steeper decline, with Australian FinTech companies raising just $564m in H1 2024, a 73% decrease from the $2.1bn raised in the same period last year. If this trend persists, the projected total for deal activity in 2024 would be approximately 68 deals, indicating a 50% reduction from the 136 deals completed in 2023. The average deal value in H1 2024 was approximately $16.6m, down from $23.8m in H1 2023, reflecting a 30% decline. This shrinking average deal size suggests that not only has deal activity slowed, but investors are also shifting towards smaller investments. This trend could indicate growing caution among investors in the Australian FinTech space, likely due to economic uncertainties and tightening financial conditions impacting the appetite for larger, riskier investments. Betashares, a leading Australian financial services company known for its investing platform Betashares Direct and range of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), has secured the largest deal for an Australian FinTech in H1 2024 with a $198m investment from Temasek, a global investment firm headquartered in Singapore. This capital injection follows a period of rapid expansion for Betashares, which has managed over $25bn on behalf of more than a million investors, financial advisers, and institutions. The investment from Temasek, which will see the firm become a minority shareholder alongside TA Associates and Betashares' staff, underscores Betashares' long-term ambition to become a premier independent financial services provider. The company continues to innovate with initiatives like Betashares Direct, a retail investment platform designed to assist self-directed investors in building long-term wealth. Betashares remains committed to transparency, cost-effectiveness, and simplicity as it expands its market presence and offerings, aiming to create long-term value for customers, partners, and shareholders alike.
