About us

Our vision is to create a world where financial services seamlessly sync with life

Embedded finance made easy

By leveraging the power of technology, we are removing the barriers for businesses to offer digital financial solutions. Our proprietary Banking-as-a-Service platform enables any business to embed financial solutions in new contexts that were previously unimaginable. Launching customized banking features has never been easier.

Completely licensed for pan-European business

As a tech company with a full German banking license, including a Digital Assets Custody license, an e-money license – covering the UK and EEA – and a UK consumer credit license, we are ideally positioned to handle the regulatory and technological complexities of banking for our partners. That's why innovative companies, from startups to multinationals, trust us.

Our vision

We believe that financial services will become seamlessly embedded into everyday life – so accessible and easy, that we sometimes forget they are there. When financial services can be offered by anyone to anyone, a world of new possibilities opens up.
