54% of Fintech Companies Would Generate $5 Million in Revenue

The fintech sector is off to a strong start in 2025 and its economic indicators, according to analysts’ projections, predict that this sector will experience historic growth this year.

In figures, Colombia currently has 394 emerging fintech companies, 25 more than at the beginning of 2024, registering an increase of 6.8%. Likewise, it is estimated that, by the end of 2025, according to information from Finnovista Fintech Colombia, 54% of these business units will generate revenues between $5 and $15 million, 20% more than the previous period.

The positive dynamics of investment in the fintech industry are also highlighted

According to the firm Pitchbook, in 2024, more than $2.6 billion in resources were injected into Latin America to boost this ecosystem with the signing of 174 agreements, improving by 73% the figures for 2023, which left resources for more than $1.5 billion thanks to the materialization of 241 agreements.

It is clear that these figures not only confirm the maturity of a sector that has become the greatest driver of the digital transformation of the financial system , but also validate the good moment that most emerging fintech companies in Colombia and the region are going through.

One of them is DRUO, a fintech company that in 2022 created a disruptive payment method that currently allows companies and businesses to accept national and international recurring payments directly from their customers’ bank accounts, without the need to use cards, reducing collection costs by up to 50% and offering a better experience to its users, especially regarding payment scheduling. Its motto is to make the bank account the most powerful payment method in the world.

In line with this objective, the fintech company announced that in 2024 it will triple the volume of processed transactions, reaching more than $104 million in operations and increasing its revenue by 170% compared to the previous year.

In 2025, according to Simón Pinilla, co-founder of the company, “we plan to close the year processing more than $300 million, results that will be leveraged by a growth strategy in the markets in which we currently have a presence, including Colombia, the United States, Peru and Mexico, and the launch of new countries.”
