US Leads Global FinTech Deals with $1.4bn Raised Across 34 Rounds

US FinTech Deals Surge Past Global Competitors

The US FinTech sector led global investment activity this week, accounting for 20 of the total 34 recorded deals worldwide. Investors showed strong confidence in US-based firms, pushing funding totals to $1.4bn, a significant rise from $900m last week. This upward shift reinforces the US leadership position within the global FinTech ecosystem despite a broader market slowdown compared to last year.

Ramp Tops the Week’s Biggest Deals

Ramp, a prominent US financial operations platform, captured the largest funding round this week, securing $500m in a Series E-2. The round lifted Ramp’s total equity financing to $1.9bn. ICONIQ Growth led the investment, with backing from Founders Fund, D1 Capital Partners, GIC, Coatue, Avenir Growth, Thrive Capital, Khosla Ventures, and 8VC. Ramp’s platform streamlines spending with integrated products, including corporate cards, expense management, bill payments, procurement, travel booking, and treasury services. This substantial funding underscores growing demand for automated financial solutions among corporate clients.

HeroDevs and Noma Security Join the Top Deals

The second-largest US FinTech deal of the week came from HeroDevs, a RegTech firm providing compliance solutions for unsupported open-source software. The company raised $125m in strategic growth funding, reflecting investor interest in risk management technologies for enterprise software users. Meanwhile, Israeli CyberTech platform Noma Security secured $100m in a Series B round. Led by Evolution Equity Partners, Noma’s deal marked the third-highest funding of the week and highlighted Israel’s strong CyberTech presence globally.

Global FinTech Landscape Shows US Dominance

While 34 deals were recorded globally, the US remained the clear leader, with the majority of high-value transactions originating there. Only the UK, Israel, and Canada recorded multiple deals, while Brazil, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sweden, Italy, and Spain contributed single transactions. This distribution highlights a continued investment concentration in US FinTech deals despite growing interest in other regions.

Market Slowdown Compared to Previous Year

Although US FinTech deals dominate weekly figures, overall market activity has declined year-on-year. The first half of 2025 saw 1,695 global deals, marking a 38% drop from 2,754 in H1 2024. Funding volumes fell 16%, from $53.2bn last year to $44.6bn this year. Despite these declines, the US secured 1,004 deals in H1 2025, representing 44% of global activity, slightly up from 42% in 2024. This consistency demonstrates the US market’s resilience amid wider fintech funding challenges.

Key US FinTech Deals This Week

The list of companies securing funds this week highlights the diversity of US FinTech deals. Alongside Ramp and HeroDevs, notable fundraisers included Saphyre, SAFE, Salient, Wallarm, BlinkOps, Cover Whale, Legion, Dropzone AI, Fable Security, Courtyard.io, Flyhomes, TakeUp, Reach Security, Keye, North Pole Security, Comp AI, and KredosAi. These companies span sectors including CyberTech, AI security, and automated financial services, reflecting investor focus on innovation and risk mitigation solutions.

CyberTech Sees Strong Momentum Globally

This week also showcased CyberTech as a major fintech subsector, recording 13 deals worldwide. Israel led CyberTech activity outside the US, with companies such as Noma Security, Cyata, and Tonic Security securing investments. In the UK, firms like DynaRisk, InTick, and Novee AI contributed to this growing trend. The surge in cybersecurity-focused fintech solutions reflects escalating demand for advanced fraud prevention and data protection capabilities across global financial services.

Future Outlook for US FinTech Deals

Despite overall market softness, US FinTech deals continue to attract significant investment from top-tier venture capital and growth equity firms. The ability of US startups to secure large funding rounds demonstrates investor confidence in their long-term potential, particularly in automation, cybersecurity, and AI-powered financial solutions. As global fintech markets evolve, the US is expected to maintain its dominant position while other regions strive to close the gap.
