A Frontline Ventures x DN Capital collaboration

2017 has been a sensational year for European FinTech.

In this 70-slide presentation you will find some info that may surprise you:

  • The pace of online lending in the UK has increased 2.5x over the past 2 years from £3.1b to £8.3 in 2Q 2017.
  • On average UK banks have a shockingly low NPS of +2, including the UKs largest bank (by market cap) at -24.
  • Robo-advisors may find themselves in a tough spot as 4/5 big banks plan on launching a robo-advisor service.
  • European InsurTech practically didn’t exist 3 years ago, now accounts for roughly 10% of total FinTech funding.
