United Fintech has secured an investment from Barclays, further strengthening its shareholder base of banks, which includes BNP Paribas, Citi and Danske Bank and most recently Standard Chartered.
The initiative is key to United Fintech’s growth efforts, as the company completed two acquisitions in 2025 to increase the portfolio to seven fintechs, expanding its international footprint with 11 offices worldwide. Through the alliance, Barclays joins the United Fintech Board of Directors, reinforcing the collaboration between established global financial institutions and fintechs.

Barclays is United Fintech’s fifth global bank investor and, in a time when AI is accelerating across financial services, collaborations are key to strengthening industry-wide adoption. United Fintech aims to become a trusted ecosystem for enabling collaboration.
Danske Bank expressed positive feelings regarding the initiative, saying that it welcomes Barclays as an investor and board member, strengthening United Fintech’s network. The bank expects the industry-neutral ecosystem to further offer developments through solutions delivered to financial institutions built on trust and security. Additionally, the companies share a commitment to remaining compliant with global regulatory requirements and the laws of the industry, planning to roll out solutions tailored for their customers and partners.
