FOUNDERs' STORY

Integrated Finance was established by the founding team of a UK based BaaS business. As the business scaled, building and maintaining connectivity to an increasing number of compliance providers, banks and fintech integrations became a burden that consumed valuable engineering time.

Instead of focusing on developing unique products for customers, they needed to constantly commit resources to deliver and maintain a baseline functionality customers expect. They tried to solve this problem by partnering with a company that could take this pain away, but no company existed.

That’s why our founders decided to build it themselves. Integrated Finance is the outcome of first-hand experience of the pain of integrating and stitching together a vast landscape of financial banking providers and partner connections.
