FT Partners is indeed a standout in the fintech sector, particularly noted for their extensive deal experience in recent years. They have been a leading bank in fintech, as highlighted by their strong senior team and top market compensation. Their focus has been on financial-technology startups since their inception, which has positioned them strongly in the market.
Additionally, while TD Cowen is mentioned in your query, specific details about their performance in fintech coverage aren't provided in the context. However, it's worth noting that banks like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Qatalyst have also been dominant in tech-related advisory roles, which often overlap with fintech, especially in areas like payments and embedded finance.
For a more comprehensive view, you might want to look into detailed reports or current discussions on platforms like Wall Street Oasis, where professionals often share up-to-date insights on such topics.

Bump
Bump on TD cowen
Q?
Qatalyst covers the entire technology sector. Looking for specifically fintech here.
An TD Cowen doesnt? Q definitely deserves to be mentioned here (Afterpay, Adenza, Tink, just by a quick glance). Not sure how many pure play fintech teams there are other than FTP
There's a certain elite boutique that pays 140k base if I recall
FT, broadhaven, Qatalyst and small team out of RayJay. Bulges all do fintech but it’s not really fintech.
i think also WAL has a small group getting started by a former MD.
Flagship Advisory Partners seems legit too
Large firms definitely do fintech, a broad term to be fair. But I’ve worked on plenty of payments, capital markets software, exchange, wealth tech, tech-enabled lenders / BNPL). Space is finally picking up after being fairly quit for 2 years. Some groups split the coverage between tech and FIG while others may have virtually all in one or the other
Director in Cov - what has your experience been so far on working on payments transactions. As a young person I want to cover a growing lucrative space. What type of transactions have you worked on? Were they mostly sponsor, ECM, or M&A?
Deleted apparently I'm wrong lol
You knew you were wrong with that one. Don’t bs us.
Morgan Partners is exclusively LMM - MM FinTech. FT Partners is UM. Those are the two best when it comes to FinTech
Piper Sandler Fintech is pretty good deal flow / WLB wise i’ve heard
