“Can a modular, API-first infrastructure layer let any fintech team launch banking, cards, and lending products by assembling pre-integrated building blocks rather than negotiating dozens of individual vendor contracts?”

The story

Founded in 2019 by Alistair Cotton, Integrated Finance is a London-based BaaS infrastructure platform designed to reduce fintech setup time by offering modular, API-first building blocks for banking, cards, wallets, lending, and open banking. Rather than competing directly with BaaS providers, the platform positions itself as an orchestration layer that aggregates multiple third-party providers (ClearBank, Nium, card issuers, open banking TPPs) into a unified developer experience. The company targets fintech builders who want to launch financial products without assembling point solutions from scratch.
