The story

Originally founded in 2023 as Testimonial IQ, the company built a niche reputation management SaaS platform specifically enabling financial advisers to collect and display compliant customer testimonials to build trust and drive conversions. The company was subsequently acquired and merged into FMG, a marketing technology platform serving financial advisers, operating as an integrated subsidiary. The embedded finance footprint is minimal — the company's core product is testimonial collection and display, not financial services.
