Financial technology, or fintech, is much bigger than the giant payments companies that get most of the attention. It also comprises many smaller innovators like card issuer Marqeta and lending platform Upstart Holdings, as well as traditional financial firms that have embraced new technology, like Goldman Sachs. The industry has exploded as digital advances change how people make purchases and manage their money, and that spells opportunity for investors.
Each of these stocks has merit as a potential investment. But for the top three in the sector, I'm going to stick with three heavyweights, all of which are still growing despite their size: PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL), Square (NYSE: SQ), and Latin American fintech MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI).
