FNZ (UK) Ltd.
FNZ (UK) Ltd. serves as the London-based subsidiary of FNZ Group, a fintech platform provider founded in 2003 in New Zealand. The group expanded into the UK market and established this entity to support its growing roster of British financial institutions. FNZ builds and operates the technology that enables wealth managers, banks, and insurers to offer investment products — covering custody, trading, and reporting. Clients include Aviva, Lloyds Banking Group, and Santander UK. The platform manages assets across multiple jurisdictions, with a focus on the UK and European markets. The FNZ Group has raised over $500M from investors including Generation Investment Management and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of its platform model. In 2024, the group acquired the UK-based platform provider Vertus to expand its defined-contribution pension capabilities. Globally, FNZ employs approximately 6,000 people across 20+ offices. Unlike typical fintech software vendors, FNZ charges fees based on assets under administration rather than upfront license fees — aligning its revenue with client growth. This structure gives it an incentive to keep clients on its platform long-term, differentiating it from build-vs-buy competition.
