The fourth edition of the “Fintech 50 2019” list, released by Forbes, has now been published.

Compared to 2018, the list includes 20 new names. The highest number of additions comes from the payments industry, while startups that look to help and support underserved have also found their way onto the list.

It is important to note that all companies that are included in the list are private and operate in the U.S. market. The fact they are not necessarily based in the States was not important for editors of the Fintech 50 2019.
