i2c Inc., a fintech company providing unified banking and payments infrastructure, reported significant momentum across its client base and expanded partnerships over the past year. The Redwood City-based firm said client renewals and expansions rose 42% over two years, while its largest client portfolio grew 46%, driven by demand for modernized technology stacks among financial institutions and fintechs racing to compete with digital-first competitors.
- Annual transaction volume: Over $70 billion
- Global markets served: More than 216 countries and territories
- Platform availability: 99.999% historical uptime
- Fraud capture rate: 40% with 0.5% customer friction
- Platform capabilities: Over 300 APIs and 100,000 pre-coded building blocks
Research conducted with American Banker found that 88% of financial institutions have accelerated modernization timelines due to competitive pressure, with legacy processing architecture cited as the primary barrier. i2c’s PowerOne unified platform addresses this by running on a single global technology stack, allowing clients to launch or expand credit, prepaid, and debit programs without building separate infrastructure. Recent wins include Crypto.com, which scaled its global card program across dozens of countries; Inter, a Latin American digital bank; and Wealthsimple, a Canadian fintech platform.
Build one unified platform instead of stitching together the industry’s fragments, and let that architecture compound in value every year clients build upon it.

What we’ve needed from a processing partner has been the ability to handle complexity. i2c’s platform has the configurability to support that. Your building-block approach means we can design products in a way that our clients want and need.

What truly stands out is not just the technology, but the partnership itself, the flexibility, the commitment, and the ability to evolve alongside us as we continue to grow.

Industry analysts recognized the platform’s capabilities this year. i2c was named a top 100 fintech solution provider by IDC, designated a leading vendor in card issuing and processing by Celent, and recognized as an established leader in modern card issuing platforms by Juniper Research. The company also expanded participation in the digital payments ecosystem, joining Mastercard’s Crypto Partner Program and the Open Standard USD initiative. Founder and CEO Wain received multiple industry honors, including Fintech Leader of the Year at Juniper Research’s Future Digital Awards and an AI Leader of the Year award from the American Business Awards.
i2c has operated in banking and payments for over 26 years, managing more than 250 years of collective leadership experience across more than 1,600 global experts.
We needed a partner who could match our ambition and vision. i2c was exactly that partner for us.
