Q3 2025 was a strong quarter for global fundraising. Venture capital reached $97 billion worldwide, with fintech securing about $12 billion, making it one of the top funded sectors after AI, hardware, and healthcare. In this report, we turn from fundraising to the people side of fintech.
We look at hiring trends across four core areas, Payments, Open Banking, BNPL, and BaaS, using real job data from leading companies and insights from our work at PCN. The focus is on where companies are adding roles, which departments are expanding, and what these moves say about the market.
We also compare these findings with our earlier report on Q2 2025.
By looking at how hiring has shifted from last quarter to this one, we highlight what has changed, what has stayed the same, and what the deeper trends in fintech talent tell us about where the industry is heading.
