In response to the growing influence of platforms and wallets, TABInsights has developed a comprehensive assessment of the world’s leading platforms, ranking them based on a six-dimensional balanced scorecard. This evaluation measures their capabilities across six critical areas: customer focus, service coverage, usage and engagement, financial performance, ecosystem strength, and strategy and leadership.
We anticipate releasing the World's Best Financial Platforms Ranking 2025 on 20 February 2025.
