The story

Founded in 2009 as a digital banking platform provider focused on retail and corporate banking omnichannel solutions for financial institutions. Over time expanded into NBFC digital experience solutions, prepaid banking, and open banking via its Finvu partnership, positioning itself as a full-stack digital experience layer for banks and non-bank financial companies primarily in South and Southeast Asia. The company's embedded finance angle is enabling banks and NBFCs to deliver digital-first products rather than building embedded finance into third-party platforms.
