Open finance platform Neonomics has received four million dollars in funding from its existing shareholders, Finovate reported. The Norwegian firm secured the capital after completing a strategic transformation that reduced its operating cost base by nearly 50 percent. [1]

Neonomics chief executive officer Alfonso Muñoz stated that the business fundamentally strengthened its operations and created a more focused structure for growth. He added that the improved cost structure, rising customer demand, and ongoing shareholder backing put the business in a strong position, Finovate reported. Finovate noted that the company maintained its service quality and existing customer base during the cost restructuring. [1]

Open banking allows customers to share their financial data electronically between banks and authorized third-party service providers through application programming interfaces. As FTMQ Startups reported earlier, other players in the sector have also secured fresh capital, including United Kingdom open banking fintech TrueLayer, which raised 27 million dollars in an investment round led by CDP Venture Capital.

The deal comes as global fintech funding stays robust. S&P Global Market Intelligence reported that fintech startups raised 10.51 billion dollars across 372 rounds in the recent quarter, according to Crowdfund Insider. Crowdfund Insider cited the report showing that total capital raised rose 25 percent year over year, with 29 funding rounds exceeding 100 million dollars. [3]
