NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2025 / The Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS), part of the Linux Foundation, today announced that Microsoft is now a Platinum Member, expanding its leadership role within the FINOS community.

"Cloud service providers are a critical partner to the financial industry digital transformation journey, even more in the era of Generative AI", said Madeleine Dassule, FINOS Chair and Executive Advisor. "As FINOS standards like FDC3, CDM and CCC become pervasive in financial services, their adoption and support across big tech are a win-win for every industry constituency"

Now, with Microsoft's elevated commitment, both organizations will help advance the collaborative development of open frameworks and foster deeper partnerships between technology providers and financial institutions to better address the complex regulatory and operational needs of modern finance.
"Cloud runs on open source, and open source will be indispensable to how AI will be developed and deployed in regulated industries like financial services," said Allison Nachtigal, Vice President, Azure Chief Product Officer, Customer & Field Experience, Microsoft. "We look forward to working with FINOS and its members to help accelerate secure, open collaboration on AI and cloud standards that support both innovation and compliance."

"We have supported FINOS' mission since its inception, and we're excited to continue contributing to this organization as open source is now a first-class citizen in the industry."
