Finicity’s shareholders have the potential for an earn-out of up to $160 million in additional funds
Mastercard has announced the acquisition of open banking company Finicity for $825 million.
Finicity’s technology and teams are expected to strengthen Mastercard’s open banking platform. They would enable a wider choice of financial services, reinforcing the company’s partnerships with financial institutions and fintechs worldwide.
