Top 18 Fintech Newsletters (That Include Deep Dives)
There’s a lot of fintech newsletters to choose from, and a lot of articles listing the top fintech newsletters.
But many of them focus on listing fintech newsletters that just cover the recent news or funding announcements. As avid readers of newsletters ourselves, we know that it’s often the additional commentary and unique insights and analysis that make newsletters great.
In this list of fintech newsletters, you’ll find newsletters that offer unique insights and commentary that you won’t find anywhere else.

0. Mint Studios Content Marketing Fintech newsletter
Since we’re the ones writing the article, we thought it would make sense to include ours. In this monthly newsletter, we write about all things content and fintech.
Every month, we send out a newsletter with our latest article and case studies, along with a featured fintech strategy or tactic that we’ve been experimenting with.

1. This Week in Fintech by Nik Milanovic
Nik’s newsletter includes the latest funding rounds, as well as interesting fintech deep dives. There is an additional newsletter for each each continent and region — specifically including UK and Europe, Asia, LATAM, Africa, the fund, treks and events.
2. Fintech Takes by Alex Johnson
Each Fintech Takes newsletter by Alex Johnson is a deep dive into an important fintech topic. Alex Johnson works in marketing for FICO, an analytics company that helps businesses with decision making.
Instead of writing about weekly news, he focuses more on current trends. For example, at the time of writing (November 2020), Fintech trends include Banking as a Service and Buy Now Pay Later - so he’ll write a newsletter diving deep into those topics. He also sometimes interviews interesting guests which integrate well with the topic of the week.
3. Fintech Brain Food by Simon Taylor
Simon Taylor is a self professed Fintech geek, and really knows his stuff when it comes to the technical side of Fintech. Simon is the cofounder of 11FS and one of the hosts of the podcast. He also used to work at Barclays, which means he understands the incumbent world of banking better than most.
His newsletter is more focused on the latest news, but with his own insights and analysis added on. He also covers cryptocurrencies, blockchain and a few other technical topics. He also adds new cool fintech companies that have recently launched or come across his radar, which is always fun to learn about.
4. Sifted
Sifted is a publication for regular weekly news. They originally published only fintech news, but they now cover both tech and fintech. Sifted focuses specifically on tech in Europe, which makes it incredibly interesting and relevant for those who work in Europe.
We always end up bookmarking several of their articles in their weekly newsletter, and have found some genuinely new insights and perspectives from their writers.
Those are the four newsletters we are subscribed to. Here is a list of all the other fintech newsletters you’ll find:
