Meet the Fintechs in Financial Times’ Top 500 High-Growth APAC Companies

The Financial Times (FT) has released its fourth annual ranking of growth champions in Asia-Pacific (APAC), recognizing the region’s fastest growing companies.

The FT ranking, compiled with data partner Statista, aims to identify the APAC companies with the strongest revenue growth between 2017 and 2020. It ranks them by their compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and absolute growth rate. The ranking excluded China due to “difficulties in verifying data.”
