Fintiba is neither a bank nor do we offer our own financial and/or banking products. Fintiba is only an intermediary between you as the customer and Sutor Bank (former bank partner) and Frankfurt International Bank AG (FIB) (new bank partner).
In order to provide you with the best service possible and individually tailored product solutions, we work in partnerships with different companies. For our banking products, our premium partner is FIB, a specialized bank based in Frankfurt am Main (Germany) for international export financing. Every blocked account opened via Fintiba is opened with FIB.
Fintiba itself is regulated under the German ‘Gewerbeordnung’ (Germany Business Regulation) by the chamber of commerce in Frankfurt.
