Fimple is a cloud-native, composable core banking platform designed for banks, non-bank financial institutions, fintechs, credit unions, and other players in the financial sector.[1][2][3][4] It simplifies the creation, management, and deployment of tailored banking products like accounts, loans, deposits, payments, compliance, customer onboarding, trade finance, and embedded finance through a SaaS-based, API-first architecture with a pay-as-you-go model.[1][3][4] Serving diverse clients from enterprises to microfinance institutions, Fimple addresses legacy system rigidity by enabling rapid innovation, scalability, and market adaptability, with adoption by over 20 financial institutions globally and early funding from investors like Tera Portfolio, APY Ventures, SmartFin, DN Capital, and KT Portfolio Management.[2][4]
Founded in 2022, the company has shown growth momentum through its modular "Financial Functions as a Service" (FFaaS) approach, supporting lending, payments, retail/corporate banking, and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS), positioning it as a flexible alternative to rigid core banking systems.[1][3][5]
Fimple was established in January 2022 in Istanbul, Turkey, with operations also based in London, United Kingdom, as a product-focused fintech tackling inefficiencies in the financial sector's legacy infrastructure.[1][2][3] Co-founders include Mucahit Gundebahar, PhD, who serves as CEO with prior experience as Managing Director at Architecht Bilişim Sistemleri ve Pazarlama Ticaret A.Ş. and education from Hult International Business School and Istanbul Universitesi in Computer Science; he is listed as a key founder driving the vision.[2] The idea emerged from recognizing the need for a cloud-based system aligned with modern technology and business demands, evolving into a composable finance solution using SaaS architecture, native APIs, and cloud-native microservices.[2][3]
Early traction came from securing investments by 2022-2023 from Turkish and international backers like Tera Portfolio, APY Ventures, SmartFin, DN Capital VC, and KT Portfolio Management, enabling quick development and global outreach to over 20 institutions.[2][4] Pivotal moments include launching its FFaaS model, which emphasizes simplicity, flexibility, and quick deployment to help institutions enter new markets and comply with regulations efficiently.[3][4]
Fimple stands out in the core banking space through these key strengths:
Compared to competitors like Thought Machine (cloud-native Vault Core) and Mambu (SaaS composable banking), Fimple emphasizes FFaaS for broader composability and faster deployment across diverse models.[1]
Fimple rides the composable banking trend, where modular, API-driven platforms replace monolithic core systems amid rising demand for embedded finance, digital transformation, and regulatory agility in fintech.[1][3][4] Timing is ideal post-2022, as banks and non-banks accelerate cloud adoption to compete with agile fintechs, fueled by market forces like open banking APIs, real-time payments (e.g., SEPA Instant), and global trade finance digitization.[1][4]
It influences the ecosystem by empowering non-traditional players—fintechs, credit unions, microfinance—to launch products quickly, democratizing access to advanced banking infrastructure and driving innovation in underserved markets like emerging economies.[2][4] This positions Fimple as an enabler in the shift to "banking as a platform," reducing barriers for BaaS and embedded finance amid a projected fintech market growth.
Fimple is poised for expansion by deepening FFaaS adoption, targeting more global institutions with lending, payments, and trade finance modules amid cloud banking's rise.[1][4] Trends like AI-driven personalization, instant cross-border payments, and stricter compliance will shape its path, potentially boosting its 20+ client base through partnerships and on-prem/hybrid options.[3][5]
Its influence may evolve from niche disruptor to ecosystem leader, especially if it scales investor-backed growth in Europe and Turkey, solidifying composable platforms as the new standard for financial agility—echoing its founding mission to revolutionize the industry with modern, adaptable tech.[2][3]
Fimple has raised $25.5M across 3 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $10.0M Other Equity in January 2026.
