LPA (Lucht Probst Associates), the European market leader in capital market technology, and Finance Active, the sector leader in Europe for SaaS solutions for optimising debt and financial risk management for multinational companies, local authorities and financial institutions, are announcing the establishment of their joint venture, Verifino.
Verifino combines the activities of LPA and Finance Active in debt management for the German market. Both companies have many years of experience in the development of software solutions for managing debt portfolios and financial products.
Verifino’s offering is targeted specifically at the German public sector and more than 1,000 users of the “S-Kompass” and “Insito” debt management solutions. “S-Kompass” is a debt management software package that LPA developed in cooperation with the Sparkasse financial group and GiroSolution as a competence centre for public-sector clients. “Insito” is the debt component of the software suite from Finance Active.
The world of banking will also benefit from the joint venture. The Verifino team is putting all its expertise into the further development of portfolio analysis solutions that will enable banks to process consultancy tasks even more efficiently than in the past.
The joint venture also brings benefits for the two companies themselves: as a result of this collaboration, LPA is expanding its portfolio of CapTech solutions and its technological network, while Finance Active is boosting its presence throughout Europe.
Verifino will have its headquarters in Frankfurt am Main. From here, the technical and commercial teams, staffed mainly by LPA employees, will work closely with experts from Finance Active in Paris.
Stefan Lucht, co-founder of LPA: “In Finance Active we have a highly valued and experienced partner in debt management. With the establishment of the joint venture we can now combine our know-how in technology and automation. We can therefore offer our customers – primarily the public sector and their financial advisors – the highest level of expertise and technological innovation in the field of financing and debt management. We are looking forward to working with Jacques, Patrice and their team.”
Jacques Descourtieux and Patrice Chatard, Co-CEOs of Finance Active: “We are delighted about collaborating with LPA and developing Verifino together. We will take this strategic opportunity to grow in the European market and strengthen our presence among financial institutions. The Finance Active and LPA teams will combine the best of both worlds and offer our customers even more powerful solutions.
