The fintech industry continued to gain strong investor attention in November 2024, with a total of $967.05 million USD raised across 17 startups worldwide. While this month’s funding total is lower compared to October’s explosive $4.4B surge, the data reveals sustained investor confidence in fintech innovation, especially in emerging markets and specialized solutions.
Key Highlights:

- Neo Financial, one of Canada’s fastest-growing fintechs, followed closely with $250 million, reflecting continued investor faith in challenger banks that are reshaping consumer finance.
- Melio, a US-based B2B payments platform, secured $160 million, emphasizing the growing demand for digital solutions that simplify business transactions.
- The chart showcases only the top 17 startups that raised capital this month, but collectively they represent a dynamic mix of innovation in lending, payments, embedded finance, AI, and credit access.
Noteworthy Trends:
- Regional Fintech Maturity
Latin America and Canada saw significant raises through Ualá and Neo Financial, underlining the maturity and scale of fintech players in these markets. - B2B Fintech on the Rise
Startups like Melio, Lean Technologies, and Trolley show that B2B financial solutions—ranging from supplier payments to embedded APIs—continue to attract capital. - Niche AI and Embedded Finance

Conclusion
November may have seen fewer megadeals than October, but with $967 million USD invested in just 17 startups, the fintech sector remains resilient and diverse in its growth. The presence of high-profile raises from emerging markets and B2B platforms is a testament to the sector’s ongoing evolution and beyond just consumer banking and into deeper infrastructure and enterprise tech.
