About Fintech Business


Launched in May 2015 Fintech Business is an exciting new title focused on the evolving Australian Fintech community and its projection on the global stage.

Created by Australia's number one business publishing company Momentum Media, Fintech Business keeps the fintech community up-to-date with all the latest news, insights and intelligence impacting the sector.

With a major focus on start-up funding, innovation and market disruption, Fintech Business arms fintech entrepreneurs, start-ups, private equity and angel investors – as well as large financial institutions – with the information they need to build better fintech businesses… or stop being disrupted by those that are!

Editorial is driven by a dedicated team of the nation's top business journalists, with specialisations covering mortgages, peer-to-peer lending, robo-advice, funds management, investment, superannuation, payments, data and currencies.

Headed by editor Tim Stewart, Fintech Business breaks the news most essential to the evolution of fintech in Australia – and it curates important information on domestic and global fintech from other sources.

Fintech Business also delivers features, blogs and reports focusing on the key fintech sectors while also covering legislation, regulation, security, M&A, funding and other industry issues.
