This next-generation brand will provide an integrated payments and financial workflow management solution to meet the needs of small and midsize businesses, credit unions, and banks.

As the market continues to demand more digital payments and technology-driven solutions to bring financial institutions closer to business banking clients, Fintainium leads the way by embracing an approach that partners rather than compete with traditional banks and credit unions. “We see a tremendous opportunity in the SME market to provide enterprise-level technology that does not only automate tedious manual processes, but also aggregates data into one central hub and creates opportunities to underwrite and fund loans with little-to-no back-office burden. Working capital is the lifeblood of any organization; Fintainium’s mission is to enhance this for SMEs through banking partnerships.” (Richard Jackman, CEO)
As part of the collaboration between Fintainium and Aspire Fund Management, the organizations plan to launch a joint venture within the CARICOM to empower Caribbean financial institutions with technology to facilitate trade finance and other SME-focused lending opportunities. When asked about this forthcoming venture, Kerwyn Valley, Aspire’s Managing Director, remarked, “We are excited to bring Fintainium’s technology to the CARICOM. We see tremendous potential with the technology, especially within our region, to increase the ease of doing business and to assist companies in managing their working capital at lower costs.” No further details were available currently on this collaboration other than both organizations are working in earnest and plan to release more details in Q4 2021.
