Synctera provides a banking-as-a-service platform that brings together fintech companies and sponsor banks through a single API, enabling fintechs to launch embedded banking products quickly. The platform emphasizes automation, compliance, and risk controls so banks can work confidently with fintechs of all sizes and does not require a core banking integration. Synctera monetizes by charging setup and access fees and taking a share of transaction fees, interest earned and interchange with its marketplace of banks. The company reports revenue was up 20x year-over-year in the fourth quarter and that usage metrics and revenue are growing roughly 30% month-on-month in areas like payment volume. Synctera is working with 50 fintechs (14 live, including Wayapay and Float) and has another 20+ in implementation slated for launch in March and April.

Synctera has built a two-sided partnership banking marketplace that fits between banks and FinTech partners to facilitate integrations and product launches.

The company launched out of stealth and is initially offering its platform in the United States, going live with Coastal Community Bank and One as launch partners. Synctera is incorporated in the U.S., has a Canadian subsidiary, and its engineering team is based in Toronto; the company describes its product as portable and regulation agnostic with plans to be a global play.
