The story

Founded 2009 as the first cloud-native core banking platform, initially focused on investment/savings administration (Robeco, NN Bank, Aegon, Knab). Acquired Davinci in 2020 to extend into mortgage origination and consumer lending, then expanded geographically into the UK in 2021 with a mortgage-first wedge. Today positions itself as a unified retail-banking platform (savings, mortgages, consumer lending, investments/pensions) running on AWS EU, with a growing AI/agentic layer.
