UK-based API-first bank Griffin has announced its plans to open its platform to fintech companies in the region as it finishes its early access programme, Foundations. 

Following the conclusion of Foundations, Griffin’s early access programme, the company is now providing its Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform to UK fintechs, allowing them to embed banking products, including payments, savings, safeguarding, and client money accounts, and benefit from additional revenue opportunities across their value chain. Launched in December 2023, the programme enabled startups and scale-ups such as Certua and Marygold & Co. to collaborate with the bank in augmenting their features and capabilities. Currently, Griffin’s product suite includes use cases in the wealth, lending, insurance, proptech, and payroll sectors.
