The Berlin-based Fintech operates digital solutions for financial transactions, data analytics and customer services, through an open banking platform: finX API.

European expansion and portfolio extension
The funding will help finleap connect to set up a pan-European banking platform and to extend its product portfolio.
finleap connect was launched in 2019 from the merger of fintech platforms figo, finreach solutions and infinitec solutions. Its open banking platform enables connections to more than 3,600 banks across Europe through a single API, processing over 65 million transactions per month.
