The story

SmartStream Technologies is a B2B financial technology infrastructure provider specialising in data transformation, corporate actions processing, digital payments exception management, and liquidity management. Originally focused on back-office reconciliation and transaction lifecycle management for banks and financial institutions, the company has expanded into ISO 20022-native payment operations and AI-driven reconciliation for fintechs. Its acquisition by DIFC underscores its positioning as critical financial market infrastructure rather than a customer-facing fintech.
