Finastra
“Can a broad-portfolio financial software vendor become the open platform layer that banks use to modernize payments, lending, and embedded finance infrastructure?”
Finastra was formed in 2017 through the merger of Misys (a UK financial software veteran) and D+H (a Canadian payments and lending technology firm), backed by Vista Equity Partners. The combined entity positioned itself as the broadest-portfolio financial services software provider, serving retail banks, corporate banks, capital markets firms, and credit unions globally. In recent years, Finastra has pivoted toward open-platform and embedded finance models, launching FusionFabric.cloud as an open marketplace and introducing embedded consumer lending and Payments as a Service offerings targeting financial institutions seeking cloud-native modernization.
