Abstract:A report published by Israeli media unveiled that the local fintech sector saw a significant rise in 2021. The Times of Israel noted that investments in startups and companies of the industry hit $4.5 billion over the year, citing a report from Viola Group, an Israeli investment firm.
Fintech startups received 17% of Israeli tech investments.
Fintech companies accounted for 23% of all Israeli IPOs and SPAC mergers in 2020 and 2021.
The surge implied a 136% increase from 2020, where fintech startups and firms experienced $1.9 billion in funding.
Among the companies that raised significant funding in 2021 were Melio, which developed a payment platform for small and medium-sized businesses, with a Series D round of $250 million, as well as Tipalti, which developed a payments and compliance software platform with a $270 million investment and HoneyBook, which raised $250 million in a Series E round in late 2021 as well as $155 million earlier.
Fintech funding accounted for 17% of the total investments in Israeli tech companies, the highest figure in six years, with single investments over $100 million, driving ‘the lion’s share of growth in the fintech space, the authors write. Moreover, over $3 billion of the total funding was raised in mega rounds in 2021.
Investments by Segments
Fintech companies accounted for 23% of all IPOs and SPAC mergers for Israeli companies in 2020 and 2021 combined. Among them are Payoneer, a payment processing company that went public on the New York Stock Exchange last summer, Riskified, an e-commerce fraud prevention company that went public on the New York Stock Exchange in July, and insurtech companies Hippo and Lemonade.
The fastest-growing fintech segments, according to the report, were insurtech, payments, trading and investing, and lending and financing.
Despite this, cryptocurrency and blockchain-based security technologies were the segments with the highest traction. However, these emerging fields inspire reluctance in traditional investors due to the lack of transparency and regulation.

In recent years, blockchain technology has rapidly evolved from a niche innovation behind Bitcoin into a transformative force across industries. At its core, blockchain decentralization refers to the distribution of authority and decision-making away from a central entity and into the hands of a distributed network of participants. This shift redefines how data is stored and verified and paves the way for trustless, transparent, and resilient systems that challenge traditional centralized models.
