FintechOS has made its Data Core product available on Google Cloud Marketplace, extending its collaboration with Google Cloud in financial services.

The listing allows financial institutions that use Google Cloud to purchase and deploy the data layer through their existing cloud procurement channel. FintechOS 8 is also now deployable on Google Cloud as part of the broader arrangement.

Data Core is designed to bring together information used in banking, insurance and wealth management without requiring institutions to replace existing core systems. It draws data from internal platforms such as core banking, core insurance, wealth systems, customer relationship management software, and line-of-business applications, as well as external sources, including risk engines, underwriting providers, know-your-customer services, and fraud tools.

Instead of physically consolidating that information in one place, the product uses a semantic layer to present a unified view of customers and products. This structure is intended to provide a governed set of data products for workflow engines, AI agents and FintechOS's Dex Copilot.

FintechOS is positioning the offer around a persistent problem in financial services: data often sits across multiple systems and business lines. That fragmentation has become a hurdle for firms trying to introduce AI into day-to-day product operations, particularly when those tools need access to consistent records across lending, insurance, investment and servicing functions.

Industry focus

Data Core is aligned with BIAN and ACORD standards, widely used reference models in banking and insurance. That may matter for banks and insurers seeking to map new software to existing operational structures and data definitions.

The product is one of three parts of FintechOS 8, alongside the company's Unified Product Operations Engine and Agentic Workflow Orchestration. The broader platform is aligned with the FINOS AI Governance Framework and carries a SOC 2 Type 2 attestation.

FintechOS argues that governance needs to be embedded in the operational layer rather than added later. It says policy, lineage and access controls are enforced at runtime for the governed data products exposed to applications and AI systems.

Teo Blidarus, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of FintechOS, outlined the company's view of the challenge facing financial institutions.

"Financial institutions don't have an AI problem; they have a data and operationalization problem. Agents only work when they reason over a coherent, governed view of the customer and the product, and that is exactly what Data Core delivers," said Teo Blidarus, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, FintechOS.

He added that marketplace availability is intended to shorten the route from procurement to implementation for regulated firms.

"Making Data Core available on Google Cloud Marketplace, as the first step of an expanded collaboration with Google Cloud, gives banks, insurers and wealth managers a faster, governed path to put AI to work on real product operations, without waiting on multi-year data consolidation programs," said Blidarus.

Procurement route

For customers, one practical effect of the marketplace listing is commercial rather than technical. Buyers can purchase through existing Google Cloud relationships, combine charges on a single invoice and count spending towards committed cloud use agreements.

That may help reduce the approval and contracting timelines that often slow software purchases in large financial institutions. Larger transactions can also be handled through private offers on the marketplace, allowing pricing and contract terms to be negotiated for enterprise-scale deployments.

Google Cloud described the arrangement as a way for customers to adopt a governed data foundation for AI within existing cloud operations. It pointed to its global infrastructure and the security, compliance and data residency controls already used by regulated customers.

"Bringing FintechOS Data Core to Google Cloud Marketplace will help financial services customers quickly deploy, manage and grow a governed data foundation for AI on Google Cloud's trusted, global infrastructure," said Dai Vu, Managing Director, Marketplace & ISV GTM Programs at Google Cloud.

Google also linked the offer to a broader push by banks, insurers and wealth managers to apply AI across product design, servicing and decision-making while maintaining sector-specific controls.

"FintechOS can now help banks, insurers and wealth managers securely scale AI across the product lifecycle with the governance their industry requires," said Vu.

Founded in 2017, FintechOS sells software to banks, insurers, credit unions and building societies that want to build and manage financial products while keeping legacy core systems in place. The company serves more than 60 customers across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, covering more than 25 million end customers and more than USD 100 billion in assets under management.
