Index Methodology
How the FTC Fintech Index Works
The FTC Fintech Index evaluates organizations across the fintech ecosystem including sponsor banks, fintech infrastructure providers, and fintech platforms. Each organization is assessed on a 1–5 scale based on publicly observable indicators. Scores are intended to provide directional insight, not definitive evaluations. The FTC Fintech Index is for informational purposes only. Scores are based on publicly available information, industry observations, and FTC's internal evaluation framework. This index does not constitute a regulatory assessment, audit, or formal evaluation of any organization's compliance program.
