Abstract: This study examines the nature and patterns of FinTech equity funding and agreements globally and on different regional levels. Using 57 countries' annual data from 2010 to 2020, this study employs descriptive analysis, uses the independent group t-test, and finds significant differences in the flow of FinTech equity fundings and deals across different income groups and geographical locations of the world. This study finds that FinTech equity financing and agreements in developed economies make up most of the contributions. Besides, it also reveals that North America and Europe are the significant contributors to FinTech equity investment, while Asia, along with North America and Europe, are the leaders in FinTech deals.

Keywords: FinTech; FinTech deals; FinTech equity funding.
