Fino Digital, part of the Fino Group, is a Germany-based company specialising in digital solutions for financial services, regulatory compliance, and data processing. Founded in 2015, the company focuses on developing modular platforms and APIs that streamline financial workflows for banks, corporates, tax advisors, and service providers. Its products cover several interconnected domains: financial data analysis, document processing, tax compliance, and KYC/AML workflows. By offering these capabilities through modular APIs and platforms, Fino enables clients to integrate financial intelligence, regulatory reporting, and document management seamlessly into their own infrastructures. One of the company’s early achievements was the development of Germany’s first fully digital account-switching service, which rapidly scaled to be used by hundreds of banks across the country. From this foundation, Fino expanded into areas that support the digitalisation of tax and compliance processes. Its GrundsteuerDigital solution, for example, was designed in response to Germany’s property tax reform, enabling tax advisors, businesses, and individuals to handle reporting obligations digitally. In compliance, the KYCnow platform automates Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering procedures, reducing manual workloads and ensuring that financial institutions adhere to regulatory standards with greater efficiency. The company’s portfolio also includes fino.tract, an AI-powered OCR and document processing system capable of extracting structured data from invoices, bank statements, payment advices, and other unstructured documents. This tool underpins solutions such as GetMyInvoices, which integrates banking and payment data from providers like PayPal and Stripe to match transactions with invoice records. By offering these services as APIs, Fino supports a wide range of partners, allowing banks, insurers, and corporates to incorporate data-driven intelligence directly into customer-facing services or internal compliance systems. Fino Digital also addresses financial analysis through tools like fino.profile and fino.context, which leverage transaction data to build customer profiles, detect behaviour patterns, and identify financial needs. These tools are designed to help banks and insurers personalise products while staying compliant with regulations. The company’s finoOS API acts as a backbone for these services, providing modular endpoints for banking data, contract recognition, payment partner analysis, and other workflows. This flexibility enables institutions to adopt single modules or combine them into larger systems depending on their operational needs. Headquartered in Kassel, with offices in Lübeck, Cologne, and Erfurt, Fino Digital employs around 150 staff and operates on a remote-first model. Its client base includes banks, insurers, corporates, and tax professionals across Europe, reflecting its role as a specialist SME in the European fintech and regtech landscape. While it does not develop core AI infrastructure, it applies artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, and big data techniques to improve accuracy and efficiency in financial data processing and compliance automation. Through continuous product development and strategic partnerships, Fino Digital positions itself at the intersection of fintech, legal, and regulatory technology, contributing to the digital transformation of financial and compliance services.
