“This new edition levels the playing field,” added Schleifer. “As a committed maintainer of FDC3 and a FINOS Gold member, interop.io has always supported an open, connected ecosystem. By removing cost barriers, we’re enabling fintechs to focus on what matters most: client-driven innovation and value creation.”
The Partner Edition also includes co-marketing opportunities, access to extensive documentation, an FDC3 Developer Sandbox for testing, and regular updates to keep partners at the forefront of industry advancements. Vendors interested in learning more can contact [email protected].
As the demand for interoperability grows, interop.io remains committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in capital markets technology. This new offering underscores the company’s mission to “connect anything to everything.”
