The Irish fintech industry secured $68.6 million in M&A, venture capital and private equity transactions across ten deals in the second half of 2020, according to the latest KPMG Pulse of Fintech for the second half of last year, a bi-annual report tracking global fintech VC, PE & M&A investment trends.
The investment secured in the second half of last year falls below H2 totals in previous years, of $104.8 and $97.9 in 2019 and 2018 respectively. It follows a record start to 2020, where $328.6 million was secured by Irish companies in VC, PE and M&A, dominated by the landmark $162 million acquisition of Irish-founded Prepaid Financial Services by Australia’s EML Payments, which was the largest strategic M&A deal of fintech globally in the first half of 2020.
