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.

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
