Several fintech companies are eying an initial public offering (IPO) after Klarna’s successful $17 billion debut, with some already taking steps to prepare. Among them is digital payments firm Stripe, which has been viewed as a potential future IPO candidate. The company recently completed a secondary share sale valuing it at $91.5 billion.
Revolut, another fintech unicorn, has also shown signs of interest in going public. In recent days, the company gave employees an opportunity to sell shares on the secondary market at a valuation of $75 billion. This move may keep Revolut private for longer while still offering staff liquidity.
British digital bank Monzo is also reportedly lined up to IPO in the first half of 2026, although its CEO has stated that scale and growth are currently the company’s top priorities.
Other fintech firms like Starling Bank and Bulgaria-founded Payhawk are also exploring listing options. While some may face regulatory hurdles or other challenges before going public, these companies have ambitious plans for expansion and growth in the years ahead.
As Wall Street becomes increasingly welcoming of bumper fintech listings, investors are eagerly awaiting more IPOs from promising startups. With Klarna’s successful debut setting a precedent, it remains to be seen which companies will follow suit next.
