Our take
Financial services are changing fast, yet many banks and financial firms are held back by old systems that are slow and expensive. Building something from scratch can take years, and traditional vendors may lock companies into rigid solutions that don't adapt well as the market evolves. The result is an industry that knows it needs to move fast, but struggles to do so.
FoundryOS is a software-as-as-service financial services cloud designed to help fintechs, banks and financial companies launch and scale products quickly. Its platform is built around powerful "primitive" capabilities that act like building blocks. These can be configured and combined to create anything from a single financial product to an entire financial service business.
With this focus on flexibility and speed, FoundryOS is helping teams turn ideas into real, working services far faster than traditional approaches. The team has a proven track record of creating digital and challenger banks around the world too, drawing on experience from 11:FS. That experience is baking into the platform, putting FoundryOS in a good position to grow and adapt as financial services continue to evolve.
