Formance is an open-source financial infrastructure company that gives developers a programmable core ledger and a connectivity layer for moving money across banks, payment processors, and wallets. Its stack - Ledger, Connectivity, Flows, and Reconciliation - lets fintechs and platforms track every asset movement with double-entry precision, orchestrate payments across providers, and automatically reconcile internal records against external statements. Founded in 2021 and backed by PayPal Ventures and Portage, Formance positions itself as building-block infrastructure for the 'financial internet' rather than a payment processor that touches customer funds.
Modern Treasury is a San Francisco software company that builds payment operations infrastructure for businesses moving money at scale. Its API-first platform connects directly to banks and unifies ACH, wire, RTP, FedNow, and stablecoin rails behind one developer-friendly interface, with a real-time ledger and automated reconciliation built in. Founded in 2018 by three engineers who lived through the pain firsthand at a mortgage marketplace, the company has powered hundreds of billions of dollars in payments for customers like Gusto, Marqeta, Navan, ClassPass, and Procore.
