An independent shortlist of infographic studios serving fintech — incumbents and challengers, B2B and consumer, retail and institutional. Vetted by editorial review of their existing financial-sector work, three references each, and pricing transparency. No paid placements.
Why fintech needs its own shortlist
Three things separate the studios who succeed in fintech from generalists who try and fail:
- Audience risk-aversion. Fintech buyers — CFOs, treasurers, financial advisors, institutional investors — are sceptical of “designed” looking communications. They read fast, they discount fluff, and they spot a misleading chart immediately. Studios whose general-market work feels marketing-led tend to fail this audience.
- Charting standards. Truncated y-axes, pie charts of percentages that don’t sum to 100, awkward time-series intervals, missing source citations — all of these get caught by fintech audiences. The studios on this list charts as the FT / Economist / Bloomberg charts.
- Compliance awareness. Marketing communications from regulated entities (banks, asset managers, insurance, broker-dealers) go through compliance review — FCA in UK, SEC/FINRA in US, equivalents in other markets. Studios with regulated-industry experience already build this into their workflow.
Common project profiles
- Annual benchmark research (e.g. State of Fintech, payments-industry benchmarks). Long report + headline graphics + press cuts. £20–60k / $25–80k. 8–12 weeks.
- Investor / institutional decks. Pitch decks for raises, board reporting visualisations, institutional client communications. £8–25k / $10–35k. 3–5 weeks.
- Consumer-facing financial education. For challenger banks, robo-advisors, neobrokers — explaining APR, asset allocation, tax wrappers, etc. £6–18k / $8–25k.
- Compliance-led communications. Regulatory disclosures, MiFID II / suitability content, customer-onboarding explainers. Higher budget, longer cycles due to review.
How we built this list
Standard scorecard plus three fintech-specific gates:
- Charting fluency — visible in existing work as proper axis treatment, sensible chart-type selection, source citations on every figure.
- At least one regulated-industry client engagement in the last 24 months.
- Editorial restraint in portfolio — fintech work that looks “reported” rather than “designed”.

Frequently asked
Do these studios handle FCA / SEC compliance review?
The studios on this list have shipped pieces through regulated-industry compliance teams in at least one major market (UK, US, EU, Singapore, Hong Kong). Tell us your jurisdiction and we’ll prioritise studios with that specific experience.
What’s the pricing premium for fintech vs general infographic work?
Typically 25–40% above general bands — reflecting the longer compliance review cycles, more rigorous source-citation requirements, and the fact that the audience reads the work more carefully. Worth it for any project that’s brand-defining or that needs to survive compliance review.
Can they work with our existing brand system?
Yes — fintech brands typically have mature brand systems and the studios on this list expect to work within them. Send us your brand guidelines when you brief us.
Do you have studios with crypto / Web3 experience?
Subset. Crypto / Web3 audiences expect a different visual register from traditional fintech (less FT, more Stripe-meets-Discord). If you’re in that space, mention it explicitly when you brief us — we’ll filter to studios with that specific aesthetic experience.
What about consumer-facing financial education?
Different brief. Consumer-facing work needs studios with financial-literacy expertise — typically a different writer profile than institutional or B2B fintech. Specify the audience in your brief and we’ll route accordingly.
