Membership Benefits

"Microsoft is excited to share our new membership in FINOS and support its mission of fostering collaboration and innovation in the financial services sector. As a company that is committed to open source and cloud solutions, we see great alignment with FINOS's initiatives, such as promoting ethical and responsible use of AI, establishing common cloud controls, and enabling interoperability through FDC3. We look forward to contributing to these important topics and more as part of the FINOS community." - Allison Gorman Nachtigal, VP in Microsoft Industry Cloud

“BlackRock is thrilled to join FINOS, bringing more representation from the buy side to the organization. We are eager to continue leveraging FDC3 integrations and interoperability and partnering more with the FINOS community,” said Michael Bowen, Technical Fellow and Head of BlackRock's Open Source Program Office. “FINOS aligns with BlackRock's open source strategy and will help drive our advocacy for open-source solutions in financial services including our own technology platform, Aladdin®"

Open innovation has given rise to many of the software innovations that are rapidly transforming the financial services industry—from the cloud, to big data, to blockchain. But all of these came from outside of financial services. To spur this kind of innovation within our industry, we first have to create the right environment for it. Our goal is to break down barriers to collaboration—between financial services firms and even within individual firms—to enable the cross-pollination of ideas necessary to spark transformative solutions to shared problems.

As a non-profit organization, our Members' contributions are the fuel that help us garner contributions, promote adoption of our projects and enable faster innovation in the industry through collaborative resolution of financial services-wide challenges.

In addition to helping accelerate all we do, these are some of the specific benefits corporate FINOS members enjoy:

Brand recognition alongside financial industry leaders in actively open collaboration in the industry
Talent attraction and retention by enabling employees to be first class citizens in OSS Communities through our Open Source Readiness program
Propose new projects to be hosted by the Foundation as per our Governance
