7 Best Fintech Lead Generation Agencies in Europe (2026 Edition)

Most fintech lead generation agencies fail at the same moment. Your caller reaches a bank, the buyer asks one question about risk or DORA, and the meeting is gone.

Banks, insurers and asset managers buy slowly, through committees. They only make time for people who know their world. A junior SDR with a script can book a startup founder. That SDR will not book a head of operations at a bank.

We run these campaigns ourselves. So we compared 7 agencies with real financial services work in Europe, and we say plainly where each one is weak. For the playbook itself, read our guide to fintech lead generation in Europe.

The short list

1. Profitbl: best for fintech software firms selling big deals to banks, insurers and asset managers
2. Seventic: best for fintech and finance software firms that need meetings in France
3. Punch! B2B: best for finance software firms that want SDRs and intent data from one UK partner
4. A-Sales: best for fintech and wealth-tech firms open to paying per meeting
5. The Telemarketing Company: best for financial services sellers that want an FCA-authorised UK calling team
6. MarketMakers: best for firms that want UK callers with long banking and insurance experience
7. Sopro: best for fintech teams with large lists that want email reach and no calling

For fintech software firms selling to banks and insurers in Europe, our top picks are Profitbl for senior, phone-first callers across France, Benelux, DACH and the UK, Seventic for France, and Punch! B2B for the UK. Profitbl: Starting from €3,600 a month (about $4,100). Sopro starts from around €3.4K a month, with email only. Most others quote on request.

We are on this list. Here is how we judged everyone, us included.

Compare the 7 best fintech lead generation agencies

How we picked

We judged every agency on five checks. Each one comes from what we see when we call banks and insurers for our own clients.

• Proof in financial services. The agency's own site has to show finance clients or finance cases. We did not take a review site's word for it.
• Phone first. A good call gets a bank buyer talking. An email gets filed. We ranked calling-led agencies higher.
• Regulation know-how. DORA, the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act, has applied since 17 January 2025. Banks must keep a register of every ICT contract they hold. When you sell software to a bank, you ask them to add a vendor to that register. A caller who knows this opens a better first call.
• Care with a small market. The ECB list of supervised banks fits on a few pages. If those banks are your market, a volume campaign burns it in one quarter.
• A real European presence, checked. We took each HQ from the vendor's own site, then Clutch. Prices come from our own register of what each vendor publishes.

Some names you know are missing. Belkins, CIENCE, Callbox and SalesRoads are US-run and sell volume. Operatix merged into memoryBlue in 2023. Brightvision is strong in complex tech, but its site shows no finance clients. They can all book meetings. We would not hand them a head of payments at a Paris bank. For the wider market, see our list of the best sales outsourcing companies in Europe.

The 7 Best Fintech Lead Generation Agencies (2026)

1. Profitbl

Profitbl is best for fintech software firms selling big deals to banks, insurers and asset managers because our senior SDRs call buyers in their own language and know how a bank buys.

HQ: Luxembourg

Price: Starting from €3,600 a month (about $4,100)

That's us. We work as your outbound team. Our SDRs work the phone first, with email and LinkedIn around it. You get a weekly report with the calls, the objections and the meetings.

Our own native SDRs cover France, Benelux, Switzerland, Germany and the UK. We cover the Nordics with our partner Vaekst and Southern Europe with our partner Springboard IT. See how we work as a B2B SaaS lead generation agency.

Proof: a B2B fintech with 18 employees and €800K ARR came to us with a 12 to 18 month sales cycle. With us, it closed €1.8M in under 10 months. That was a 9X ROI, and its sales cycle dropped by 67%.

A payment solutions provider expanding into the UK went from 7 meetings in month 1 to 21 in month 2, and built £285K of pipeline in 3 months. A mobility fintech in France got C-level meetings at banks and insurers and renewed its contract twice.

Want to test a market first? We run a 1-week sprint: 1 ICP, 1 message, 15 to 20 conversations with decision-makers. It tells you if the market wants to talk. It comes with no meeting guarantee.

Strengths: Senior, native callers. Real fintech results with numbers. Weekly reports you can check line by line.

Limits: We only work with B2B software firms selling €10K+ deals. The Nordics and Southern Europe run through partners. We do not cover the Americas. A retainer means you pay before the meetings arrive.

2. Seventic

Seventic is best for fintech and finance software firms that need meetings in France because it runs a team that has generated B2B leads from Paris since 2004.

HQ: Paris, France

Price: Not published

Seventic does appointment setting, project detection, LinkedIn and email. Its finance page names banks, insurers, wealth managers and fintech as the buyers it targets, with CFOs, CIOs and risk directors as the titles.

Its client list includes HSBC. The page counts 9 clients in its financial services and fintech segment, but it does not publish fintech results with numbers.

It also works in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Italy, in seven languages.

Strengths: Strong French base. Clear finance focus on its own site. Many channels in one team.

Limits: No published fintech numbers. No public price. Ask who will call your accounts and whether they have sold software to banks.

3. Punch! B2B

Punch! B2B is best for finance software firms that want SDRs and intent data from one UK partner because it runs both under one roof in London.

HQ: London, UK

Price: Not published

Punch! combines human SDRs with intent data, ABM and AI-assisted outbound. Finance is one of the tags on its case studies.

Its finance-tagged cases carry numbers. It reports a £760,000 breakthrough in a new vertical for Basware, and 586 sales-qualified leads for a technology expense management company.

Its SDR service runs on a 90-day rolling contract. Its cases lean towards software sold to finance teams, rather than to banks.

Strengths: Published results with numbers. Intent data and ABM in one place. Short rolling contract.

Limits: Its site does not say where its SDRs sit or which languages they speak. Ask both questions before you hand over a list of European banks.

4. A-Sales

A-Sales is best for fintech and wealth-tech firms open to paying per meeting because it offers a pay-per-appointment model next to its calling team.

HQ: Stockholm, Sweden

Price: Not published. Clutch lists a minimum project of $1,000+ and $200 to $300 an hour

A-Sales has an in-house calling team at its Stockholm HQ. It leads with cold calling, backed by email and LinkedIn.

For Yalmar Solutions, a Norwegian wealth-tech platform, its case study page reports 25+ meetings in 30 days.

It says pay-per-appointment works best once your target profile is proven. We agree. Clutch shows two different rate bands for it, so ask for a written quote.

Strengths: Calling-led, with an in-house team. Named wealth-tech case. Pay-per-appointment option.

Limits: It sells into the US as well as Europe, and its site does not say which languages its callers speak. Ask who will call your markets.

5. The Telemarketing Company

The Telemarketing Company is best for financial services sellers that want an FCA-authorised UK calling team because it says it is FCA authorised and has called B2B buyers since 1990.

HQ: Brighton, UK

Price: Not published. Clutch lists a minimum project of $10,000+ and $50 to $99 an hour

It runs unscripted B2B telemarketing from Brighton, with native-language callers for other markets in the same office.

Its client logos include finance names such as Octopus Investments, Funding Circle and Bloomberg. Its case study for LianLian Global, a cross-border payments firm entering the UK, describes appointment setting but gives no numbers.

Strengths: FCA authorised. More than 30 years in B2B calling. Large team for big lists.

Limits: A large telemarketing floor suits big lists. For a short list of banks, ask how senior your callers will be and whether they have sold software.

Visit The Telemarketing Company website

6. MarketMakers

MarketMakers is best for firms that want UK callers with long banking and insurance experience because its client page is full of UK banks and insurers.

HQ: UK

Price: Not published

MarketMakers is a UK B2B telemarketing agency. Its client page lists banking, financial services and insurance as sectors, with testimonials from Santander, Lloyds Banking Group and Atradius Collections.

Most of that work is for banks and insurers themselves, rather than for software firms selling to them. That still gives its callers a feel for how these buyers talk.

Strengths: Long record with UK banks and insurers. Wide service list, from calling to data.

Limits: No published fintech vendor results. UK only. Ask for a case close to yours.

Visit the MarketMakers website

7. Sopro

Sopro is best for fintech teams with large lists that want email reach and no calling because it sells email and LinkedIn at a public price.

HQ: Brighton, UK

Price: From around €3.4K per month, no minimum contract (published on their site, October 2026)

Sopro runs email, LinkedIn, display ads and gifting campaigns. It does not sell calling. Financial services is one of its listed sectors.

For Moneyinfo, which builds apps and client portals for wealth managers, its success stories page reports 500+ leads.

Strengths: Public pricing. No minimum contract. Wealth-tech case.

Limits: Email-led volume works for large lists of smaller firms. For a few hundred banks, think hard before you send at volume.

What does fintech lead generation cost?

Most agencies on this list do not publish a price. Here is what the public numbers say, by model.

• Monthly retainer: Sopro starts from around €3.4K a month for email and LinkedIn. Profitbl: Starting from €3,600 a month (about $4,100), with calling.
• Hourly, via Clutch: The Telemarketing Company lists $50 to $99 an hour with a $10,000+ minimum project. A-Sales lists $200 to $300 an hour with a $1,000+ minimum.
• Per meeting: A-Sales offers pay-per-appointment but does not publish the fee.
• Commission: none of the agencies here publish a commission-only model.

Our take: with a market of a few hundred banks, pay for senior callers and judge them on qualified meetings. Our sales outsourcing pricing guide breaks down each model.

France: Seventic and Profitbl both call French banks and insurers in French. Seventic has the longer French history. We bring fintech results with numbers. See the best sales outsourcing companies in France.

What is the best lead generation agency for fintech companies selling to banks?

For fintech companies selling software to banks and insurers in Europe, pick a phone-first agency with senior native callers. Profitbl is our pick: one fintech client closed €1.8M in under 10 months with us. Seventic fits France, and The Telemarketing Company fits FCA-regulated UK buyers. Avoid volume email for small bank lists.

What is the best lead generation agency for payments and wealth-tech companies?

Payments and wealth-tech firms sell to a wider market than core banking vendors, so they can mix calling with email. Profitbl took a payment solutions provider expanding into the UK from 7 meetings in month 1 to 21 in month 2. A-Sales has a wealth-tech case, and Sopro suits large email lists of wealth managers.

How to choose a fintech lead generation agency

1. Count your real market first. List the banks, insurers and asset managers that fit, country by country. If the number is in the hundreds, rule out volume models.
2. Ask who will make the calls. Get the name, the years in sales, and whether they have sold to a financial institution.
3. Test them on regulation. Ask how they handle "we can't add vendors this year because of DORA". A vague answer tells you how the call will go.
4. Listen to a real call. Ask for a recording in your target language. Two minutes tells you if the caller sounds like a peer.
5. Check the finance proof. Ask for a case where the buyer was a bank, insurer or asset manager, at a deal size close to yours.
6. Ask what you can see, and when. A monthly PDF is too late. Ask for weekly numbers, call notes and every objection.
7. Start with a test. A short sprint tells you more than any sales deck. The SDR Services Selection Framework gives you a scorecard to compare agencies side by side.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does fintech lead generation cost in Europe?

Sopro starts from around €3.4K a month for email and LinkedIn. Profitbl: Starting from €3,600 a month (about $4,100), with calling. Most other fintech lead generation agencies quote on request.

What is DORA and why does it matter when selling to banks?

DORA is the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act. It has applied since 17 January 2025. Banks must keep a register of their ICT contracts and include set terms in them. Every new software vendor adds work for the buyer, so your first call should show you understand that.

How fast do fintech campaigns get first meetings?

First meetings can come in the first month. One client of ours, a payment solutions provider expanding into the UK, had 7 meetings in month 1 and 21 in month 2. A deal with a bank takes longer, because committees, vendor risk reviews and procurement all have a say.

Who should we target at a bank or insurer?

Start with the person who owns the problem your product solves, such as the head of payments, operations or risk. Then map who else must sign. Calling only IT or only procurement stalls the deal.

Is pay-per-meeting a good model for fintech?

It works once your target profile is proven, as A-Sales itself says. The risk is that the agency gets paid for any meeting, so it books the easy ones. With a small market of banks, we would rather pay for senior callers and judge them on qualified meetings.

Should we hire an SDR in-house or outsource?

Outsource first when you enter a new market. A senior caller who already knows how banks buy gets you to real conversations faster than a new hire who must learn the sector.

Our verdict: hire callers who sound like peers

A bank buyer decides on your first answer to their first question. Senior, native callers get that answer right. That is why we put phone-first agencies at the top, and email-only shops at the bottom.
