But not everyone has made it through the fintech winter. US-based payments firm Digital River is winding down its operations, it is understood, with office closures and layoffs underway. Founded in 1994 and acquired by New York equity firm Siris Capital for $840 million in 2014, Digital River provides API-based order management, e-commerce, and cross-border payment processing solutions.
In the UK, fintech Nvayo has entered special administration due to insolvency. Founded in 2008, Nvayo specialises in the issuance of pre-paid cards and electronic money and provides payment processing and foreign exchange services. In 2023, it landed in hot waters with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as the regulator raised “serious concerns about Nvayo and its compliance with anti-money laundering rules”. The fintech was prohibited from carrying out e-money services without the FCA’s consent. Nvayo applied with the Upper Tribunal to have these restrictions lifted but application was dismissed in early 2024.
