Infrastructure Company FintechOS Revamps Platform to Expand BNPL, Mortgage Tools

FintechOS has enhanced its buy now, pay later (BNPL) feature, according to a company blog post Thursday (May 12).

The BNPL sector has experienced rapid growth as of late, and the company said the expansion of its BNPL solution allows merchants, checkout solution providers and lenders to team up on “closely integrated technology, data, and business workflow automation.”

FintechOS has long provided BNPL solutions for eCommerce brands in Europe, and will be offering it now to all clients. Established banks and lenders can work with the company to develop and roll out various embedded finance solutions to operate in the BNPL space.

BNPL allows consumers to buy items and pay them off in installments or similar arrangements.

PYMNTS wrote last year that FintechOS had raised $60 million in a Series B funding round, which the company planned to use to expand its position in Europe and the U.K.

At the time, the company said it wanted to expand internationally and target financial institutions in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and North America. In a press release, the company said it planned to establish new offices in the U.S., Dubai and Singapore, looking to increase its headcount by 40%.

FintechOS also said it would use the money to expand core system capabilities for banking and insurance. The goal was to make the low-code self-service proposition and artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)-based personalization better.

In other BNPL news, PYMNTS recently reported that Splitit has joined the Visa Ready for BNPL program.
