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.

Director in Cov - what has your experience been so far on working on payments transactions. As a young person I want to cover a growing lucrative space. What type of transactions have you worked on? Were they mostly sponsor, ECM, or M&A?
