Australian FinTech investments plummeted by 65% in Q2
In Q2 2025, the Australian FinTech market saw 15 deals completed, a 6% decline from the 16 deals recorded in Q2 2024 but a 15% increase on the 13 deals seen in Q1 2025.
Total funding dropped significantly to $166.2m, down 65% from the $475.4m raised in Q2 2024 and 61% below the $422m secured in Q1 2025.
The average deal size in Q2 2025 was $11.1m, a sharp decrease from $29.7m in Q2 2024 and $32.5m in Q1 2025, highlighting a substantial retreat from high-value funding rounds and suggesting increased investor caution amid market headwinds.
Deals over $100m dropped by 61% QoQ as investors grew cautious
Deals under $100m brought in $56.7m in Q2 2025, representing a 80% drop from the $277.1m raised in Q2 2024 and a 60% decline from $142m in Q1 2025.
High-value transactions of $100m or more contributed $109.5m in Q2 2025, down 45% from the $198.3m raised in Q2 2024 and a 61% fall from the $280m seen in Q1 2025.
This contraction across both funding segments indicates a broad-based tightening in capital deployment, as investors continue to reassess risk in Australia’s FinTech landscape.
Hejaz, Australia’s first fully digital Shariah‑compliant FinTech app and leading Islamic financial services provider, secured a $109m funding round making it the largest Australian FinTech deal of the quarter
The funding round was from a UAE-based private wealth group — to expand Shariah‑compliant offerings across property, auto, SME and development finance.
As a pioneer at the intersection of financial technology and Islamic finance, Hejaz combines digital accessibility with strict adherence to faith-based compliance, and this capital will accelerate its mission to deliver ethical finance to Australia’s growing Muslim and ethically conscious communities.
