As of 27 October 2026, 36.1% of fintech job ads on Finjobsly publish a pay range: 1,516 of 4,200 active roles across 36 tracked employers. The gap between employers is wide, from 88% at Affirm to 3% at Stripe, so the employer you apply to says more about whether you will see a salary than the market average does.
Key findings

How many fintech job ads include a salary range?
Just over a third. Of the 4,200 active roles Finjobsly tracked on 27 October 2026, 1,516 had an advertised minimum pay value in the record. That is a snapshot of one panel of 36 fintech employers, not a count of the whole market, and a role counts as disclosing only when a pay figure was captured from the ad.
The headline number hides a split. Some employers put a range on almost every posting. Others put one on almost none. A job seeker who skims the average will expect a salary on one ad in three, and then find that most of their shortlist behaves very differently from that.
Which fintech employers publish pay most often?
The table shows the 15 largest employers in the panel by active roles, with the share of their roles that include a pay range.
| Employer | Active roles | Roles with pay | Share with pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Affirm | 222 | 196 | 88% |
| Coinbase | 223 | 189 | 85% |
| Brex | 266 | 202 | 76% |
| Plaid | 134 | 95 | 71% |
| Gusto | 94 | 57 | 61% |
| Ripple | 100 | 59 | 59% |
| Block | 204 | 78 | 38% |
| Ramp | 173 | 60 | 35% |
| Adyen | 247 | 85 | 34% |
| Robinhood | 155 | 38 | 25% |
| Tide | 101 | 17 | 17% |
| Toast | 342 | 50 | 15% |
| Checkout.com | 164 | 17 | 10% |
| Nubank | 93 | 7 | 8% |
| Stripe | 736 | 25 | 3% |
Six of the 15 publish pay on more than half of their roles. Five publish it on fewer than one role in five. Size does not explain the pattern: Affirm and Stripe are both large, and sit at opposite ends.
Why Stripe moves the headline number
Stripe accounts for 736 of the 4,200 active roles, or 17.5%, and only 3.4% of its roles show pay. That drags the panel figure down. Without Stripe, 1,491 of 3,464 roles disclose pay, which is 43.0%. The same skew affects other numbers in our dataset, which we cover in a companion piece on what Finjobsly's fintech job data looks like without Stripe.
We have not tested why any single employer discloses less. An ad may state pay in free text that our parser does not capture, on a linked page, or not at all. Treat a low share as "pay not visible in the ad data we collect" rather than "this employer hides pay".
What the rules say about pay in job ads
Regulation is pushing in one direction, but slowly. The EU Pay Transparency Directive set a transposition deadline of 7 June 2026. According to WageIndicator, only four of the 27 member states had transposed it by then, among them Slovakia, Italy, Lithuania and Malta. Our panel is not split cleanly by country, so we cannot say how much of the variation in disclosure comes from local law and how much from employer policy.
What this means if you are job hunting
Use disclosure as a practical filter. If an employer publishes ranges on most roles, you can compare offers against a known band before you spend time interviewing. If it publishes few, ask about the band in the first recruiter call and write down the answer.
For context on what the ranges mean, our salary benchmark and the fintech salary report show advertised pay by role and level, and UK vs US fintech salaries covers the transatlantic gap.

Frequently asked questions
What share of fintech job ads show a salary?
On Finjobsly's panel, 36.1% did on 27 October 2026 (1,516 of 4,200 roles). Excluding Stripe, the share was 43.0%.
Which fintech companies publish pay most often?
In the panel, Affirm (88%), Coinbase (85%), Brex (76%) and Plaid (71%) had the highest share of roles with a pay range.
Which fintech companies publish pay least often?
Among the 15 largest employers, Stripe (3%), Nubank (8%) and Checkout.com (10%) had the lowest share. A low share means pay was not captured from the ad, not that pay is secret.
Is the advertised range the same as the offer?
Not necessarily. An advertised range is the employer's stated band for the role. Your offer depends on level, location and negotiation, so confirm the band with the recruiter.
Will this number change?
Yes. Finjobsly connected its employer scrapers in July 2026, so we make no trend claims yet. This is a snapshot, and we will compare month on month once comparable months exist.
Methodology and data sources
Data snapshot. Finjobsly live job market data, 27 October 2026: 4,200 active roles at 36 tracked employers. A role counts as disclosing pay when the record holds an advertised minimum pay figure. Percentages use all 4,200 active roles as the denominator, or the stated employer total.
Limits. The panel covers 36 employers, not the whole fintech market, and one employer is 17.5% of it. Pay is read from structured fields and may miss ranges written in free text. See the Finjobsly research methodology for how roles are collected.
