Named the most advanced digital society in the world, Estonia has built an efficient, secure, and transparent ecosystem where 99% of government services are online. This digital-first approach to how things should work also applies to the finance world. Estonia is virtually cashless, with over 99% of financial transactions happening digitally.
Financial solutions here are known for being highly innovative, user-friendly, and reliable. That’s because Estonia as a whole, as well as its financial technology sector in particular, have had close to thirty years to build a high-level financial system from scratch, fueled by a uniquely entrepreneurial and tech-savvy environment that has, among other things, given rise to more unicorn startups per capita than any other country in the world.
Today, Estonia’s ever-evolving fintech sector is poised to help set the trend for Europe and beyond.
At Money20/20 this September, meet the Estonian fintech innovators making money move smarter:
