Methodology
How we compile the directory
FintechMall aims to be a neutral, honest map of fintech infrastructure. Here's how profiles are built and what our labels mean.
One profile per company
A company that spans multiple layers gets a single canonical profile with multiple categories, rather than duplicate listings.
Public, verifiable information
Profiles are compiled from official websites and public sources. We verify a company and service are active before listing, and omit uncertain or discontinued brands.
No fabricated data
We never invent licence numbers, prices, processing volumes, customer numbers, availability, scheme memberships, partnerships, SLAs, ratings or reviews. Undisclosed fields stay absent or show “Contact provider”.
Neutral by default
Descriptions are factual and neutral. Listing does not imply endorsement or partnership, and there is no ranking or automatic “winner” in comparisons.
Listing status
- Listed
- Compiled by FintechMall from public information. Not claimed or sponsored.
- Profile claimed
- The provider has claimed and reviewed this profile.
- Featured listing
- A featured placement within the directory.
- FintechMall partner
- A confirmed FintechMall integration or commercial partner.
By default, providers are marked Listed. Other statuses are used only where a real relationship is confirmed.
Stablecoin ecosystem coverage
Our stablecoin coverage was expanded with the help of public market maps and official provider sources. Market maps are discovery tools — a checklist of who to research — and never proof of a company's regulatory status or of a commercial relationship. A logo appearing in a third-party map does not establish any partnership.
Because infrastructure categories overlap and evolve, a provider may sit in several segments at once. We model companies, products and networks separately where appropriate: a blockchain network, a card product and a KYC vendor are different kinds of entity and are labelled as such. Regulatory descriptors are drawn from official sources where available and must still be verified independently. Where a label could not be identified confidently, we record it as unresolved rather than publish a misleading profile.
Research sources
- a16z crypto — the stablecoin stack (market map) — used as a discovery checklist only.
- Official company, foundation and network websites and documentation for each profile.
Inclusion of a source does not imply that the source endorses FintechMall or any listing. Profiles are informational and require independent verification.
FintechMall currently provides technology, research and provider-discovery services. Regulated financial and crypto-asset services will be offered only after obtaining the relevant authorisations or through appropriately licensed partners.
