Salary benchmarks
Our take
As businesses expand online, they have opportunities to be able to build and sell various financial services or add fintech features to their existing products. Railsr (formerly Railsbank) facilitates companies doing this easily, where it would previously have been a huge undertaking.
Traditionally, the complexities of legacy technology and processes, and managing global compliance, have created a slow, complex and costly experience for customers. Through Railsr's Open Banking Platform and APIs, financial innovators have the means of creating the financial services, products and experiences their clients want.
In 2022, the company benefitted from the embedded finance boom and raised a large funding round to support its ongoing expansion efforts. Unfortunately, in the year to follow, it had to undertake an emergency sale and shift of control, though this was positively regarded as a chance to "rebuild momentum". As of early 2026, the company is reported to be combining with Equals, another embedded finance fintech - though the exact details of this new entity are yet to be announced.
