The story
FMO was established in 1970 as a state-backed development finance institution focused on channelling Dutch capital into private sector projects in developing and emerging markets. Over decades it expanded from direct loans to equity, guarantees, and fund investments. In recent years FMO has invested in modernising its compliance and client-lifecycle infrastructure, selecting Fenergo to overhaul KYC and onboarding — signalling a digital transformation push consistent with increased AML/KYC regulatory requirements on development banks.
