United Fintech, the fintech infrastructure and ecosystem for financial institutions, asset managers & wealth managers reportedly secured an investment from Barclays, strengthening its shareholder base of “global banks, including BNP Paribas, Citi and Danske Bank and most recently Standard Chartered, which have all joined in just the past two years.”
This investment marks a key milestone in United Fintech’s growth journey.
In 2025, the company completed two acquisitions “to increase the portfolio to seven fintechs, as it continues to expand its footprint with 11 offices worldwide and more than 200 employees.”
Via this partnership, Barclays now reportedly joins the United Fintech Board of Directors, reinforcing the “collaboration between global financial institutions and innovative fintech platforms.”
Ryan Hayward, Head of Strategic Investments at Barclays said that they are pleased to partner with United Fintech “to accelerate digital transformation across the industry.”
They added that United Fintech’s approach to scaling fintech innovation “aligns closely with our vision for future-ready financial services.”
United Fintech continues to build “a comprehensive ecosystem of leading technology solutions for financial institutions, asset managers and wealth managers.”
The company’s recent acquisitions have strengthened its capabilities across commercial banking, capital markets, and investment management, helping its clients “modernise infrastructure, accelerate innovation and deploy AI-powered innovation securely and efficiently with one-point-access.”
Christian Frahm, CEO and Founder of United Fintech said that they are now eager to welcome Barclays as their “fifth global bank investor.”
Frahm added that with AI accelerating “across financial services, industry-wide collaboration has never been more important.”
With Barclays now onboard, they further strengthen their “industry-wide adoption, and United Fintech is well on its way to becoming the trusted ecosystem for enabling that collaboration,”
Claus Harder, Head of Group Strategy & M&A at Danske Bank said that at the banking institution, they are pleased to welcome Barclays “as an investor and Board Member, further strengthening the group of global banks backing United Fintech.”
Harder added that they now remain eager “about the prospects of United Fintech delivering real innovation through solutions delivered to financial institutions built on a trusted governance of delivery.”
