The story
Founded in 2015 as Next Digital Banking (ndgit), the Munich-based company initially focused on lending middleware APIs connecting banks and insurance companies for digital finance. Over time it evolved into an Open Banking platform, enabling banks, fintechs, and e-commerce players to connect and share financial data via standardized APIs. In November 2023, Ndgit was acquired by Warsaw-based Crastorehill, a Finch Capital portfolio company, alongside Qwist (formerly Finleap Connect), positioning the combined entity as a major European open banking infrastructure provider ahead of PSD3 regulation.
