In 2019, the firm launched its free RTP / instant payments processing on the cloud as a service.

The firm caters to more than 100 banks, financial institutions, market infrastructures, clearing houses, and corporate treasuries across 35 countries.

Wells Fargo Strategic Capital managing director Basil Darwish said: “While innovation has accelerated in customer-facing fintech applications, legacy core payments infrastructure has been slower to adopt new technologies due to its complex messaging standards and mission-critical environments.

“Volante solved such challenges by offering a modern cloud-native payments platform that minimises the complexity while accelerating its customers’ payments modernisation efforts. We are excited to invest in Volante and join the next phase of its development.”

In 2018, American asset manager BNY Mellon teamed up with Volante to support real-time payments in the US and abroad.
