As the fintech industry matures, the focus is shifting from hypergrowth to strategic, profitable expansion. In this evolving landscape, mature fintechs with established stability, strong market positions, and long-term strategies are considering options to acquire, exit, or pursue an IPO.

We’ll examine how fintechs are adapting to today’s challenges through targeted growth, selective alliances, and focused M&A to unlock greater value. Join us to gain insights into the key trends driving the next chapter of fintech growth, the impact of resilience across various verticals and growth stages on expansion opportunities, and the diverse pathways available—from acquisitions and strategic exits to IPOs and SPACs—as fintechs scale in a shifting financial landscape.
