Following the overwhelming feedback received for the Top 20 Influencers in Finance Technology, the Jax Finance Conference team decided to do a similar analysis on influential people in FinTech. The FinTech influencer list was generated by analyzing thousands of Twitter accounts extracting the MozRank and Klout scores which rank both quality and influence.
The analysis ranks the top accounts according to their social influence, although interestingly enough, not all household names of FinTech evangelists are on the list.
Congratulations to all influencers who made it into our top 15. Click on each username to visit their Twitter accounts.
