By @SimonCocking

It’s been a busy two months since we announced we were looking for Ireland’s first FinTech20 Ireland list, in colllaboration with the global FinTech50 initiative. We’re delighted to let you know that the Irish FinTech scene is as buoyant as we suspected it to be. The great news is there are a fantastic 50 plus Irish fintech companies for our illustrious panel to deliberate over.

Here are the 54 companies that made it to our long list. The judges will be deliberating over the next few weeks and we look forward to then announcing who has made it to the final list for this year’s FinTech20 list.
