Financial Technology Partners (FT Partners) is an investment bank that operates exclusively within the financial technology sector. Founded in 2001, the firm provides strategic advisory services - encompassing mergers and acquisitions, private capital raising, and capital markets advisory - to FinTech founders and chief executives. It is recognised as the largest fintech-focused investment bank in the world.
The firm employs over 250 investment banking professionals and maintains offices in San Francisco, New York, Miami, and London. Its specialisation in a single industry vertical distinguishes it from generalist banks, allowing it to concentrate its expertise on the particular transactional needs of financial technology companies.
Since its founding, FT Partners has received industry recognition including Investment Bank of the Year awards, which it has won four times since 2004. The firm's advisory work supports the full lifecycle of FinTech companies, from growth-stage capital raises to strategic exits.
