Fintech has secured a credit facility and acquired Planky, a UK-based tech company specialised in AI-driven financial analytics and open banking. The credit facility accompanies its latest Series B round, bringing the total raised to £29 million.
The BKN301 Group is a fintech architecture provider that supports banks and fintech companies. Its cloud-native, proprietary suite enables institutions to modernise legacy architectures without disruption, speeding time-to-market and ensuring long-term scalability. The platform is built on three core components: the API Orchestrator, the Data Decoupling Layer, and the Business Logic Engine. These components work together to provide a flexible, vendor-neutral foundation.
Through the acquisition of Planky, BKN301 gains a proprietary AI and data analytics engine that will be fully integrated into its digital banking architecture.
Planky’s machine learning models, specialised in real-time financial insights, behavioural scoring, and predictive analytics, will enhance the intelligence and automation of BKN301’s platform.
This integration will enable financial institutions and fintechs using BKN301’s technology to deliver smarter, faster, and more personalised digital banking experiences, while maintaining high compliance and scalability standards. “This milestone marks a defining moment for BKN301,” said Stiven Muccioli, Founder & CEO of BKN301.
“With the growth financing and Planky’s AI capabilities, we’re accelerating toward our vision of a next-generation fintech infrastructure — one that’s intelligent, open, and designed to empower financial inclusion at scale across emerging markets.”
The company’s growth strategy for the next 18 months includes:
- Strengthening its AI and data analytics capabilities across the core platform,
- Expanding strategic partnerships with regional financial institutions, and,
- Exploring new M&A opportunities to accelerate technological innovation and market reach.
“We’re building the rails for the next wave of financial innovation,” added Muccioli.
“AI is transforming how financial services operate, and BKN301 is at the forefront — combining intelligence, scalability, and regulatory readiness to help our clients innovate faster.”
The new financing will also accelerate BKN301’s roadmap, enabling the company to scale its digital banking architecture platform across EMEA markets.
