Founded in 2016 as Germany's first cloud-native BaaS bank, Solarisbank leveraged its CRR license to power white-label financial products for fintechs and corporates. The 2021 acquisition of Contis expanded its card issuing reach across Europe. After rebranding to Solaris SE in 2022, the company shifted from a fintech-focused infrastructure play to a broader embedded finance platform targeting SaaS companies, travel, mobility, and wealth verticals. The SBI Group acquisition in 2023 repositioned Solaris as a cross-border embedded finance infrastructure provider with ambitions in EU passporting and multi-country BaaS.
