Revolutionizing the Financial Landscape.

We're more than just a fintech company; we're a catalyst for innovation in the financial industry. Our mission is to empower financial institutions of all sizes, from credit unions to major global financial institutions, with cutting-edge solutions that drive growth and efficiency.

Building Ecosystems:

We foster vibrant
ecosystems that connect financial institutions, fintechs, and customers, creating seamless experiences.

Delivering Complex SaaS Solutions:

We develop sophisticated SaaS solutions tailored to the unique needs of the financial industry. Our solutions simplify complex processes, enhance security, and accelerate time-to-market.

Harnessing Data:

Our data-driven solutions unlock the power of information, enabling data-informed decisions and personalized customer experiences.

Caspian has been driving the adoption and implementation of global open banking standards since 2016. Our pioneering approach focuses on transforming operations and enhancing customer experiences for financial institutions of all sizes.

In Canada, we have earned ‘go to’ vendor status, having been first to market with an Open Banking FDX Standards solution for a ‘big six’ bank (and their digital subsidiary). We also demonstrated and helped in partnership, to advise the Canadian regulatory framework; producing a market-led solution to help guide Canadian regulations, presented to the Finance Minister.

In May 2023, the Large Credit Union Coalition (LCUC) chose Caspian One as their preferred partner to deliver the Credit Union System Open Banking Solution, a tailored solution for the Canadian marketplace. This led to the strategic partnership announcement and onboarding of 5 leading credit unions - First West, Prospera, Meridian, Affinity and Libro - to Caspain’s open banking solution.

Our Story.

  • In the EU we have led the provision of PSD2/Open Banking solutions that power some of Europe’s largest banking groups (adhering to Berlin Group protocols).

  • In the UK we’ve implemented retail Open Banking that impacts over 5 million customers.

Our successes are intertwined with mature networks and strong ties to tier one and two Investment Banks, along with international achievements spanning Canada, the U.S., EMEA, and APAC.
