fintech, start-ups, financeFinTech is the new technology that seeks to improve and automate the delivery and use of financial services. ​​​At its core, FinTechs help companies, financial institutions, business owners, and consumers better manage their financial operations, processes by utilizing specialized software on computers and, increasingly, smartphones.

In France, there is a general sense of optimism in the FinTech sector, owing to effervescent start-up culture, increased access to capital, availability of technical talent and financial incentives.

Recently, France topped the rankings of LinkedIn’s second annual top start-ups list, with the representation of six companies. The list was produced using LinkedIn data in four areas, particularly employee growth, jobseeker interest, employee engagement, and their ability to attract talent from other top companies.
