Lithuania has become the largest fintech hub in the EU
According to new data published by Invest Lithuania, the national investment attraction agency, the number of fintech companies operating in Lithuania in 2025 has reached 282. This is a 2% increase compared to the same period last year, when 276 fintech companies were operating in the country.
The number of financial technology professionals increased by 5.4% to 7,8K.
Other report data:
- Lithuania has become the largest fintech hub in the EU in terms of the number of licensed companies.
- More than 300M EU customers are served by fintechs licensed in Lithuania.
- Lithuania ranks 9th among other jurisdictions in terms of lowest ML/TF risk.
The growth of the Lithuanian fintech industry was attributed to the fact that the country continued to attract innovative foreign players last year, especially in blockchain and cryptocurrency. These companies now account for 15% of the local fintech ecosystem, up from 13% the previous year.
In 2024, Lithuania remained an attractive destination for fintech companies looking to enter the EU market. 73% of the 82 fintech companies surveyed stated that this was the reason for their work in Lithuania.
Almost half of the fintech companies operating in Lithuania are owned by foreigners, with the UK and the US dominating the foreign presence.
