About
At Griffin, we are revolutionizing the financial technology landscape by engineering a new era of banking. Through groundbreaking technology, we are empowering companies to seamlessly embed banking services into their products. Our core innovation lies in our full-stack Banking as a Service (BaaS) platform, meticulously designed to combine the robust security and regulatory compliance of a traditional bank with the agility and power of modern, user-friendly software. This unique fusion allows us to offer a comprehensive suite of tools, including safeguarding accounts, client money accounts, embedded savings solutions, and flexible API-driven accounts, all accessible through a clean JSON over REST API. We are committed to breaking down the traditional barriers to entry in financial services, enabling fintechs and other brands to innovate and launch new financial products with unprecedented speed and efficiency. Our platform is built upon an immutable architecture, featuring a core banking system based on a durable event log and cloud-native infrastructure for scalability and resilience. This technological foundation allows us to provide a stable, long-term banking partnership for innovative companies that often face challenges with the lengthy onboarding processes and legacy technology of established banks. We offer a free sandbox environment, encouraging developers to test, build prototypes, and experiment with our platform without upfront fees or commitments. Griffin is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and regulated by both the PRA and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), ensuring the highest standards of security and compliance. Our vision is to be the foundational banking partner for the next wave of financial innovation, providing the essential infrastructure that allows our clients to focus on creating exceptional customer experiences and growing their revenue.
