9 Lithuanian fintechs we’ve got our eye on

Lithuania sits neatly at the compass point where Northern, Eastern and Western Europe converge; a land of lakes, forests, stable regulatory markets and collaborative relationships between business and regulators — the perfect combination for it to blossom into its current incarnation as a fintech powerhouse.

Known as the European Union’s most substantial fintech community, Lithuania boasts over 250 licensed fintechs — and is one of the world’s most secure financial sectors, so it’s no wonder it’s making a name for itself.
