Plumery & Darien partner to fast-track digital banking transformation

By Gloria Methri

Digital banking platform Plumery has entered a strategic partnership with Darien Technology, a consulting and technology firm with a strong presence in South America and Spain. The collaboration aims to support financial institutions in modernising their digital channels without the need for full core system replacements.

The partnership brings together Plumery’s API-driven, developer-friendly platform with Darien’s regional expertise in technology consulting, software development, and UX/UI design. The joint offering is designed to deliver a faster, more cost-effective route to digital transformation for banks and financial service providers operating in local markets.

The companies aim to address the growing demand for agile, customer-centric digital banking experiences, particularly among mid-sized and regional institutions seeking modernisation without extensive infrastructure overhauls.

Ben Goldin, Founder and CEO of Plumery, said, “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. Our platform provides the foundation for financial institutions to deliver seamless digital banking journeys that are easy to launch, fully customisable, 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.”

The collaboration introduces a modular digital banking stack that integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure and the broader FinTech ecosystem.

Designed to accelerate digital transformation, the platform supports web and mobile channels with features such as frictionless onboarding, KYC compliance, personalised engagement, and end-to-end loan origination. The solution is tailored to help banks adapt rapidly to evolving customer expectations.

At its core, Plumery’s event-driven, cloud-native architecture ensures real-time responsiveness and operational agility. Its open design allows banks to retain complete control over the user experience. Darien Technology complements this with strong regional delivery capabilities and deep expertise in navigating complex financial innovation projects.

Together, the firms aim to offer a practical, scalable path to digital modernisation for financial institutions across the region.

Luis Salazar, Digital Transformation Director & CDO, EMEA at Darien Technology, said, “We are thrilled to partner with Plumery. Their flexible, cloud-native, event-driven architecture and developer-friendly approach to digital banking, coupled with their ability to support progressive modernisation without the need for large-scale core transformations, aligns perfectly with our mission to help financial institutions innovate with speed and confidence. Together, we bring not only best-in-class technology, but also deep implementation experience and local market insight that ensures banks can turn strategy into reality with reduced risk and faster time to value.”
