Plumery Announces Strategic Partnership with Darien Technology
  • Digital banking platform Plumery has forged a strategic partnership with financial services consulting firm Darien Technology.
  • The partnership combines Plumery’s technology with Darien Technology’s consulting and software development expertise to empower banks to accelerate their digital transformations.
  • Headquartered in Amsterdam, Plumery made its Finovate debut at FinovateEurope 2025 in London.

Amsterdam-based digital banking platform Plumery announced a strategic partnership with Darien Technology. A consulting and technology firm that specializes in South America and Spain, Darien Technology will combine its consulting, software development, and UX/UI design expertise with Plumery’s developer-friendly, API-driven architecture to help banks and other financial institutions accelerate their digital transformations.

“This partnership allows us to extend Plumery’s reach into markets that are undergoing rapid digital change but are often held back by rigid legacy systems,” Plumery Founder and CEO Ben Goldin said. “Our platform provides the foundation for financial institutions to deliver seamless digital banking journeys that are easy to launch, fully customizable, and designed to scale. Through a focus on speed, cost-efficiency, and customer experience, we’re giving institutions the autonomy to evolve continuously without being tied to expensive vendor lock-ins or slow, professional service-heavy delivery models.”

Combining Plumery’s technology and Darien’s acumen will provide financial institutions with a digital banking stack that integrates seamlessly with existing core systems to enable them to offer digital banking experiences across both online and mobile channels. The collaboration will drive frictionless onboarding, KYC compliance, personalized engagement, and full loan origination journeys. Financial institutions will benefit from real-time responsiveness thanks to Plumery’s event-driven platform architecture and cloud-native infrastructure. At the same time, firms will be able to leverage regional delivery capabilities and expertise in guiding firms through their digital transformation journeys courtesy of Darien.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Plumery,” Luis Salazar, Digital Transformation Director & CDO, EMEA, at Darien Technology, said. “Their flexible, cloud-native, event-driven architecture and developer-friendly approach to digital banking, coupled with their ability to support progressive modernization without the need for large-scale core transformations aligns perfectly with our mission to help financial institutions innovate with speed and confidence.”

Headquartered in Panama, Darien Technology is a digital transformation and technology consulting firm that specializes in accelerating innovation, modernizing legacy systems, and delivering digital experiences for banks and financial services companies. The company’s capabilities include software development, systems integration, UX/UI design, cloud infrastructure, digital onboarding, document management, identity verification, and AI-driven data insights. Daniel Sepe is CEO.

Founded as a private consultancy in 2016, Plumery grew into an independent product company in 2022. The company made its Finovate debut at FinovateEurope 2025 in London, where it demoed its Super App Accelerator, which empowers financial institutions to launch a comprehensive Super App in weeks rather than years. The solution helps financial institutions transition from traditional banking apps to lifestyle-integrated platforms that serve a wider range of consumer financial demands.
