Growth Consulting Book a diagnostic

Industries — Fintech

Sell to buyers who manage risk for a living.

Payments, lending, banking infrastructure, wealth and insurance technology. Your buyers run long evaluations, bring in risk and compliance, and need evidence before they move. We build the positioning, proof and pipeline those deals require.

Cycle

Long, committee-driven

Typical start

Positioning and proof

Leading indicator

Pilots started

01 — The buying committee

Five people can say no. Plan for all of them.

Fintech deals are won by giving each member of the committee what they need to say yes, often before you meet them.

01

Economic buyer

CFO, COO

A business case with payback and risk-adjusted upside, built with their own numbers.

02

Business owner

Head of Lending, Payments or Operations

Faster decisions, better approval rates and fewer manual steps for their team.

03

Risk and compliance

CRO, Head of Compliance

An audit trail, regulatory alignment and a clear answer on model and fraud risk.

04

Information security

CISO, IT security

Certifications, data residency, architecture and penetration test results.

05

Procurement

Vendor management

Clear packages, standard terms and pricing that fits how they budget.

02 — Proof

Proof that clears review.

Most fintech deals do not stall on the demo. They stall in review. We build the evidence pack before the buyer asks for it.

Security pack

Certifications, policies, architecture and data flows, in the format security teams expect.

Pilot design

Success criteria agreed in writing before the pilot starts, so a good pilot becomes a contract.

ROI model

Built with the buyer's own volumes and costs, so their CFO can check every line.

References by segment

Customers who look like the buyer, briefed and ready to take the call.

Regulatory mapping

How the product supports the buyer's obligations, reviewed with your compliance team.

03 — Pipeline

Where fintech pipeline comes from.

Fintech buyers rarely respond to volume. They respond to trust, timing and relevance, so the channels have to carry all three.

01

Bank and platform partnerships

Banks, cores and platforms that already hold the relationship and the trust.

02

High-intent search

Comparison, integration and compliance terms that buyers search once a project is funded.

03

Trigger-based outbound

Accounts facing a new regulation, a core migration or new leadership.

04

Events with booked meetings

Industry events where the meetings are booked before the badges are printed.

04 — Pricing

Price the way the buyer budgets.

The right model depends on how value scales for the buyer and how their finance team plans spend. Each has a trade-off.

Works when

Watch out for

Per transaction

Value scales with volume

Revenue swings with the buyer's volume

Basis points

Value tracks money moved

Procurement pushes hard on rate at scale

Platform fee plus usage

Buyers need a predictable budget line

Usage tiers must match real volume bands

Per decision or account

Value is per customer served

Harder to compare with incumbent pricing

We test models against your win-loss and margin data before recommending one.

Questions from fintech teams.

If yours is not here, bring it to the first call.

We sell to banks. How long until we see results?

Leading indicators such as meetings and pilots move in the first quarter. Signed contracts follow the bank's cycle, which we plan around rather than pretend to shorten.

Can you work with our compliance team on marketing?

Yes. We bring compliance in from the first draft, which is faster than review at the end, and we build a library of approved claims your team can reuse.

Do you work with consumer fintech?

Our focus is B2B and B2B2C: companies selling to banks, lenders, merchants and businesses.
