Key European WealthTech investment stats in Q2 2025:
European WealthTech deal activity grew by 19% QoQ in Q2
UK companies dominated the European WealthTech marketplace with 43% of all deals from the region

European WealthTech deal activity grew by 19% QoQ in Q2
In Q2 2025, the European WealthTech industry experienced a steep decline in funding compared to the same period last year, although deal activity showed signs of recovery from earlier in the year.
The sector recorded 44 funding rounds, a 30% decrease from the 63 deals completed in Q2 2024.
WealthTech companies raised $698m in Q2 2025, representing a 55% drop from the $1.5bn raised in Q2 2024.
Compared with Q1 2025, however, deal activity rose by 19% from 37, while funding increased by 67% from $418m, signalling some renewed momentum despite the YoY decline.
UK companies dominated the European WealthTech marketplace with 43% of all deals from the region
The UK remained the most active WealthTech market in Europe during Q2 2025, with 19 deals (43% share), though this was a 14% decrease from the 22 deals recorded in Q2 2024.
France followed with five deals (11% share), marking a sharp 58% drop from 12 deals in the same period last year.
Germany completed three deals (7% share), down 25% from four deals in Q2 2024.
Despite falling deal volumes, the UK strengthened its overall share of total deal activity, rising from 35% to 43%, highlighting its continued dominance within the European WealthTech landscape amid broader weakness across the region.
Moneyfarm, the digital wealth management platform operating in Italy and the UK, secured one of the biggest European WealthTech deals of the quarter with a $13.4m funding round
The round was backed by Poste Italiane Spa and Allianz to accelerate its growth strategy.
Founded in 2011, the company now manages more than $6.5bn in assets and has recorded strong momentum in 2025, with net inflows rising 4.5x in the first four months compared to the same period last year, while its Italian securities account has expanded sevenfold to surpass $108m.
The fresh funding will support the rollout of new products such as US stocks in foreign currencies and an ETF accumulation plan, alongside strengthening compliance, expanding its advisor base beyond the current 80, and investing in technological innovation.
With flows from its industrial partnership with Poste already multiplying sixfold since the start of the year, Moneyfarm continues to consolidate its position as a leading European WealthTech, combining strong investor backing with accelerating client adoption.
