September is often a busy month in financial services. And it looks like 2014 is no exception. During the first week of September, 19 fintech firms attracted $269 million in new funding. Even if you exclude the $110 million to alt-biz lender Strategic Funding Source, it was still a huge week, despite the short week caused by the USA holiday Monday.
