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.

Banking in service. For life.
Nature - People - Business
As a Banking-as-a-Service creator, we know what it means to disrupt an old and rusty industry. Our NPB framework has sustainability in its very conception, pumping through its veins. When we Bank in service, for life, we commit to not only being the best for our customers, but we strive to be the best for all stakeholders in our strategy: for Nature, for People, for Business.
In our focus - Diversity & Inclusion
At Solaris, everyone is welcome. Our Diversity & Inclusion team makes sure we celebrate our differences and learn from each other. As an organization, we are constantly working on making our workspace more inclusive and diverse, because we know that no diversity means no growth.
Futura - our Women’s Network
We got tired of the fintech gender gap and decided it’s about time to shake it up. So we've launched Futura: a network that supports and empowers women and works to boost representation within our organization at all levels – from junior staff right up to and including our board of directors. Our goal is 30% of women across all levels by 2024.
