Tiger Global stars as the most active FinTech investor in H1 2022

Tiger Global, an American investment firm focused on Internet, software, consumer, and financial technology, was the most active FinTech investor in the first half of 2022 with 70 deals. Tiger Global has become one of the most prolific tech investors in recent years, with investments in more startups (including FinTechs) valued over $1bn than any other firm.

Overall, there were 6,300 unique FinTech investors globally in H1 2022 with MoonPay, a payments infrastructure for crypto, being the deal with highest participation with 69 investors. On average these 6,300 investors made 1.8 investments each and only 14% of investors made more than two investments in total.

Blockchain & Crypto is the most active FinTech sector globally in H1 2022

Out of the 3,447 deals that occurred in the first half of 2022, the Blockchain & Crypto sector outshined other sectors accounting for one in five deals in H1 2022 with 704 deals in total. Global adoption of Blockchain & Crypto in Q2 2020 stood at 2.5% and this has grown rapidly to 24% in Q2 2021. This high growth is unlikely to continue at such rapid rates as countries, such as China’s ban the use of cryptocurrencies and global drops in prices due to the global cost of living crisis, scams, regulation and scepticism of coin and NFT values halting high growth, but as long as new technologies and innovations emerge, adoption and growth will continue.

The WealthTech sector raised the most amount of capital in H1 2022 with $13.9bn, an 18% share of the $76.8bn raised in global FinTech deals. FNZ, a wealth management platform, was the largest WealthTech deal in H1 2022 raising an eye watering $1.4bn in their latest Private Equity round led by CPP Investments and Motive Partners.

FinCEN issues alert on deepfake fraud schemes targeting financial institutions

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has issued a critical alert to assist financial institutions in identifying and addressing fraud schemes involving deepfake media created with generative AI (GenAI) tools.
change communication methods during a verification check.Some identity verification solutions may also flag possible attempts to circumvent verification checks, such as the use of third-party webcam plugins, which can let a customer display previously generated video rather than live video. Use of Deepfake Media in Phishing Attacks and Scams Criminals may also target financial institution customers and employees through sophisticated, GenAI-enabled social engineering attempts in support of other scams and fraud typologies, such as business email compromise (BEC) schemes, spear phishing attacks, elder financial exploitation, romance scams, and virtual currency investment scams.24For example, in family emergency schemes, scammers may use deepfake voices or videos to impersonate a victim’s family member, friend, or other trusted individual.25Similarly, criminals have reportedly used GenAI tools to target companies by impersonating an executive or other trusted employee and then instructing victims to transfer large sums or make payments to accounts ultimately under the scammer’s control.26 Financial Red Flag Indicators of Deepfake Media Abuse FinCEN identified the following red flag indicators to help financial institutions detect, prevent, and report potential suspicious activity related to the use of GenAI tools for illicit purposes.As no single red flag is necessarily indicative of illicit or suspicious activity, financial institutions should consider the surrounding facts and circumstances before determining whether a specific transaction is suspicious or associated with illicit use of GenAI tools. A customer’s photo is internally inconsistent (e.g., shows visual tells of being altered) or is inconsistent with their other identifying information (e.g., a customer’s date of birth indicates that they are much older or younger than the photo would suggest). A customer presents multiple identity documents that are inconsistent with each other.
