OpenFX Buys Global Ledger to Launch Multi-Currency Accounts
OpenFX acquires Global Ledger and taps Novo co-founder Tyler McIntyre to lead a new multi-currency account product for fintech firms.
OpenFX is making a bold move into the fintech banking space, acquiring Global Ledger to power a new multi-currency account product built specifically for fintech companies. The deal signals OpenFX's ambition to own a bigger slice of the cross-border payments infrastructure market — and they're coming in with serious credibility.
