Awesome Fintech

A curated collection of popular, well-maintained open source libraries and developer tools for fintech engineers. The focus is on production-grade projects with real-world traction used by banks, payment companies, and financial platforms.

Projects must demonstrate meaningful adoption (stars, forks, contributors, or industry usage), active maintenance, clear open source licensing (Apache, MIT, AGPL, BSD, etc.), and practical utility for building payments, banking, compliance, data, and financial systems. No weekend projects, AI-agent experiments, personal finance apps, or cryptocurrency/blockchain tools.
