In exciting news worth shouting about, Monavate has been named in the 2025 EMEA Technology Fast 500, Deloitte’s ranking of the fastest-growing technology companies across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. We placed 111th out of 500, in a field spanning 24 countries and every corner of the technology industry.

It follows our showing in the Deloitte UK Technology Fast50, where we ranked 23rd overall, one of the five fastest-growing fintechs in the UK and second in the Cambridgeshire and East region. For a company that spends most of its time making other companies look good, being noticed twice in one year is a pleasant change of pace.

This year’s Deloitte theme is Ambition at Scale, and honestly, it could not fit better. Because here is the thing about growth in payments: it is easy to grow fast - and then fall over. Plenty do. Growing fast while staying regulated, reliable, and boringly dependable in all the ways that matter? That is the hard part. That is the part we are genuinely proud of.

Michael Rolph, CEO of Monavate, said:

“This recognition belongs to the whole team and to the clients who build on our platform every day. Growth at this pace is only possible when the foundations are right: regulated infrastructure, direct scheme relationships, and a model built to scale with our clients rather than around them. What matters most is not the number itself, but what it signals. The companies building the future of payments need infrastructure they can trust, and that is exactly what we are here to provide.”

Deloitte’s 2025 cohort tells a bigger story too. Across the region, the winners are companies that moved past experimentation and got serious: scalable models, disciplined execution, real-world impact. We recognise that journey because we have lived it, building the foundational layer that lets ambitious companies in fintech, embedded finance, and Web3 innovate safely, at pace, and at global scale.

So thank you to our team, who do the unglamorous work brilliantly, and to our clients, whose ambition keeps raising the bar. This one is shared. Now, back to building.
