The UK WealthTech sector experienced a notable shift in 2025, recording a modest 6% increase in total funding despite a significant contraction in the number of deals. This dynamic indicates a clear preference among investors for larger, more established platforms within the digital wealth management landscape.
Overall, UK WealthTech funding reached an impressive $2.5bn in 2025, a rise from $2.4bn in the preceding year. However, this growth was achieved through just 49 transactions, marking a sharp 45% decline from the 89 deals completed in 2024.
This evolving investment strategy propelled the average deal size to $50.8m in 2025, more than doubling the $26.5m average recorded in 2024. The data underscores a decisive market trend: fewer but substantially larger funding rounds are now the norm.
When viewed against a broader historical context, the market has undergone a significant correction since its peak. Compared to 2021, when UK WealthTech attracted $5.7bn across 465 deals, 2025 funding stands 57% lower, and deal volumes have plummeted by 89%. This highlights a recalibration of investment priorities and market maturity.
Investors Prioritize Larger Deals: Over $100M Transactions Surge by 31%
A deep dive into transaction sizes reveals a distinct divergence. In 2021, deals under $100m accounted for $3bn, closely followed by transactions of $100m or more at $2.7bn.
Fast forward to 2025, and the landscape is dramatically different. Sub-$100m deals fell to $477m, a 42% drop from $817m in 2024. Conversely, deals valued at $100m and above soared to $2bn, marking a robust 31% increase from $1.5bn a year earlier.
This stark contrast demonstrates how the contemporary UK WealthTech market is predominantly shaped by a select group of substantial funding rounds. Investors are channeling capital into proven platforms, signaling a move towards consolidation and strategic long-term investments.
FNZ Secures Europe’s Largest WealthTech Deal with $500M Equity Boost
A pivotal moment for the sector in 2025 was FNZ’s securing of the largest European WealthTech deal. The global end-to-end technology platform, which empowers wealth and asset management businesses, received a substantial $500m equity injection from its long-standing institutional backers.
FNZ, a key innovator in modernizing wealth management infrastructure, provides integrated solutions that streamline operations and enhance client engagement for financial institutions worldwide. This significant capital infusion is set to bolster FNZ’s financial foundation, enabling sustained investment in cutting-edge technology, operational capabilities, and talent acquisition.
The company’s platform continues to redefine how wealth management services are delivered, improving accessibility, efficiency, and scalability across the industry. This latest funding round reflects profound investor confidence in FNZ’s strategic execution and its ambitious vision to lead the future of digital wealth transformation.
Adding to its strong year, FNZ also finalized a further strategic financing transaction later in 2025. This move further reinforced its balance sheet and underscored continued investor support for the company’s long-term growth trajectory and global expansion within wealth management markets.
