Further evidence once more that 🇬🇧's #fintech went from strength to strength in 2019:
🔵Up 38% to new record of $4.9bn
🔵2nd globally for total amount of investment
🔵Faster growth than #US, #China and #Singapore
🔵7 out of 10 largest deals across Europe
As @siftedeu suggest, @sequoia's decision to open an office here in #London once again demonstrates the growing appeal of the #UK's #fintech sector to #US investors, as the leading destination for #VC investment in Europe.
