- BANKSapi completes Open Banking platform with end-user interfaces from financial home provider finhome.
- Merger strengthens further expansion of the ecosystem in open and embedded finance.
- High product synergies enable new applications based on Open Banking, which can be used even more easily stand-alone or in existing use cases.
BANKSapi doubles its strength as Open Banking provider and acquires the PFM and Financial Home provider finhome. The takeover will significantly expand the depth of the product range offered by BANKSapi, Open Banking use cases can optionally be delivered directly with state-of-the-art front-ends in the future. The joint offering is complementary and includes a wide range of onboarding, CRM and marketing use cases based on Open Banking.
The takeover of finhome took place against the contribution of finhome’s business shares to BANKSapi within the framework of a merger. The two teams remain in place and complement each other due to the previously different focus on back-end and front-end technologies. BANKSapi has revenues in the low to mid seven-figures and turned a profit for the first time in Q4 IV 2021.
“Our strategy is to provide turnkey one-stop solutions. In the future, we want to design the approach for our clients in addition to Customer Analytics, we call it Impactful Action. For a highly efficient customer dialogue without wastage, effective end customer interfaces, such as those provided by finhome, are an integral part,” says Felix Baaken, CEO of BANKSapi Technology GmbH.
Reinhard Tahedl, CEO of Finconomy AG, adds: “We are convinced that the topics of Open Banking and Open Finance will be even more important in the future than they are today. In order to be able to leverage the added value for end customers and companies in the best possible way, powerful structures are required. With this transaction, we are happy to make our contribution to this.”
