Riding the Momentum into Q3

By Gabriele Columbro

If the first half of the year was about setting the stage, the second half is about proving the value of open source in financial services at scale. Coming off the massive success of OSFF London, it is clear that our community is not just growing; it is realizing tangible ROI. Financial institutions are increasingly turning to open collaboration to solve complex challenges, from AI governance to orchestration to seamless desktop interoperability.

We are thrilled to welcome Bank of America as our newest Platinum Member, reflecting a deepening commitment to our shared ecosystem. Across the board, projects like Fluxnova, FDC3, CALM, our AI Governance Framework (AIGF), and now OSERA are proving that the future of finance is open, secure, and highly efficient. The community is translating open collaboration into practical industry value, and the momentum is only accelerating.

Let’s dive into what’s happening across FINOS.

No, Your Subscription Didn’t Expire

By Gabriele Columbro

If you thought your email filters had finally won, think again.

It has been a while since our last FINOS community newsletter, but the inbox silence did not mean the community was quiet. Quite the opposite. Across FINOS, members, maintainers, contributors, and partners have been busy building the open source infrastructure that the financial services industry increasingly depends on.

A message from our Executive Director, Gabriele Columbro:

It’s hard to believe our last newsletter came on the heels of Deepseek shocking the technology and geopolitical landscape, and the global markets with it. In the era of agentic (and open source) AI, this is indeed seems like years ago. But our community is stepping up to the task: on the tech risk side, the AI Governance Framework is sailing towards its 1.0, while Common Cloud Controls accelerates its pace of releases as undeniably it has hit a huge pain point of the industry. The flywheels of adoption and contribution of FDC3 and CDM are spinning faster, as the industry realizes truly open APIs and data are not only the glue for interoperability but the fuel for the agentic future.
