As a "fintech city to watch closely" according to Crowdfund Insider, industry leaders and emerging companies are thriving in Northeast Florida and talent and investment are helping drive one of the fastest-growing segment of financial services.

Jacksonville is home to several leading fintech institutions with more forming or relocating here each year. Central to the area’s fintech focus is FIS, which opened its new 386,000-square-foot global headquarters along downtown Jacksonville’s riverfront in October 2022. The region is also home to significant fintech operations for Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), Deutsche Bank, SS&C Technologies, SoFi and Dun & Bradstreet.

Further solidifying Jacksonville’s standing as the FinTech capital of the Southeastern United States, the announcement of UK-based Paysafe selecting the city as their North American headquarters made headlines at the end of 2022. CEO Bruce Lowthers stated the establishment of its office in Jacksonville made sense for the specialized payments platform company since it is “a vibrant business hub and rich with diverse talent from well-known academic institutions, as well as a number of high-profile Fortune 500 companies.”

Now more than ever, fintech companies are calling the Jacksonville region home. A strong corporate base, a growing talent pool and a strong business community provides the perfect environment for fintech firms to innovate and thrive.
