Asian FinTech funding hit five-quarter high with an increase of 2.9x YoY in Q4

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Asian FinTech sector recorded a sharp increase in both deal volume and funding compared to previous periods.

Q4 2025 closed with 176 deals, representing a 51% rise from the 117 deals recorded in Q3 2025 and a 2.3x increase from the 76 deals seen in Q4 2024.

Total funding in Q4 2025 reached $3.5bn, marking a 2.2x increase from $1.6bn raised in Q3 2025 and a 2.9x surge from the $1.2bn recorded in Q4 2024, making it the highest quarterly funding level across the period.

Average deal size also rose to $20m in Q4 2025, compared with $13.7m in Q3 2025 and $15.8m in Q4 2024.

Large deals rose by 4.5x YoY which drove the uptick in funding for the region

Funding from deals under $100m totalled $1.1bn in Q4 2025, down 15% from the $1.3bn recorded in Q3 2025 but up 70% from the $666m seen in Q4 2024.

In contrast, larger deals valued at $100m or more climbed to $2.4bn in Q4 2025, representing a substantial 8.6x increase from the $278m raised in Q3 2025 and a 4.5x rise from the $531m recorded in Q4 2024.

This marks the highest level of large deal funding across the period and was the primary driver of the overall quarterly funding peak.

Airwallex, a Singapore-based global commercial payments and financial platform, secured one of the biggest Asian FinTech deals of the quarter after raising $330m in a Series G funding round

The round was led by Addition, with participation from T. Rowe Price, Activant, Lingotto, Robinhood Ventures and TIAA Ventures, valuing the company at $8bn, up 30% from its Series F six months earlier.

The funding lifts total capital raised to $1.5bn and will support AI agent development, product innovation and international expansion, including a major push into the US supported by a planned $1bn investment between 2026 and 2029.

The company continues to demonstrate strong platform momentum, with annualised revenue surpassing $1bn alongside 90% year on year growth and annualised transaction volume doubling to more than $235bn, while roughly half of customers now use multiple products.

Airwallex has also strengthened its regulatory infrastructure, holding 80 licences and permits enabling operations across more than 200 countries and regions, reinforcing its position as a scaled provider of global payments and financial infrastructure.
