Germany-based financial software provider Fintus has announced acquiring the fintech startup Finstreet

In 2021, the private equity fund Anacap acquired a stake in the software company Fintus, which develops software for banks that require little programming with a process called low-code. As part of the Anacap acquisition, Fintus founder Benjamin Hermanns received funds to acquire companies and thus grow faster.


Fintus can now report the first completion as they have bought the fintech startup Finstreet, which also develops software products for banks. Both parties have agreed not to disclose the acquisition price. Like Fintus, Finstreet did not have any major venture capital investors prior to the acquisition, but instead developed organically. This acquisition results in the creation of a new company with a total of around 170 employees. Both companies previously had a similar-sized workforce.

Growth should accelerate

According to a Fintus representative, the two companies were often in competition with each other and applied for similar projects. Some of the products that Finstreet provides to banks for onboarding, lending, and customer service include "Dialog Online" and "Eco Banking”. Fintus plans to set up "a one-stop shop" for software solutions for financial service providers and banks, and is still looking for technology providers to take over. A substantial amount of debt capital and equity capital is still available for this.

Their customers include financial institutions such as DZ BANK, the Deutsche Bürgschaftsbanken, and the Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken.
