Tesselate buys Gateway 2 Finance to expand corporate banking

Tesselate Group has acquired Gateway 2 Finance, an open accounting and ERP connectivity platform developed by Finecta, in a move aimed at strengthening its corporate banking transformation offering.

The acquisition brings Gateway 2 Finance’s open accounting and enterprise resource planning (ERP) connectivity capabilities into Tesselate’s existing suite of trade finance, lending, and treasury workflow solutions. The combined platform is designed to connect banking systems with real-time SME financial data while integrating interoperability orchestration and agentic AI-driven decision tools.

Tesselate said the deal supports its strategy to build a more connected and automated corporate banking ecosystem. By embedding open accounting data flows directly into trade finance and lending processes, the company aims to accelerate credit assessments, streamline treasury operations, and improve end-to-end workflow efficiency for financial institutions.

The transaction reflects a broader industry shift toward data-centric corporate banking models, where access to live business financial information is increasingly critical for underwriting, risk management, and liquidity decision-making. As banks and non-bank lenders seek to digitise complex trade and lending processes, integration with ERP systems and accounting platforms has become a key enabler of straight-through processing and reduced manual intervention.

Andrew Berti, of Finecta, said, “We are delighted with this opportunity. This synergy between Finecta’s connectivity expertise and Tesselate’s deep corporate banking transformation capabilities creates unprecedented opportunities to deliver innovative solutions across the entire financial services ecosystem.”

Tesselate stated that the acquisition completes its vision of business process orchestration within corporate banking. The enlarged platform will combine trade finance and lending workflow automation with interoperability orchestration and AI-powered decision-making, creating what the company describes as an end-to-end ecosystem where data flows across systems and processes adapt dynamically.

The companies did not disclose the financial terms of the transaction.

For the sector, the deal underscores the growing convergence of open accounting, AI, and workflow automation in corporate banking. As institutions face pressure to reduce operational friction and improve turnaround times for SMEs, technology providers are positioning integrated data and orchestration layers as foundational infrastructure for next-generation financial services.
