In October 2025, Finologee and fundcraft joined forces for a joint webinar bringing together Georges Berscheid, Co-founder and CTO of Finologee, and Olga Porro, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer of fundcraft, to walk participants through the practical realities of their partnership. The session demonstrated how the integration of Finologee’s banking orchestration platform with fundcraft’s cloud-native fund operations platform is reshaping the way fund back-office operations are managed, from payment initiation through to automated cash reconciliation.

Finologee's banking orchestrator: centralising multi-bank operations

At the heart of the discussion was Finologee’s banking orchestration platform, designed to allow financial industry clients fund administrators, transfer agents, depositary banks, asset managers, and corporates) to connect all their banks and bank accounts and manage payments centrally, regardless of how many institutions or jurisdictions are involved. The platform is connectivity-agnostic: while Finologee holds BIC codes on the SWIFT network, it equally supports EBICS, APIs, SFTP, and other protocols, ensuring compatibility with virtually any banking counterpart globally.

The live demonstration covered a range of capabilities. Participants were shown a unified dashboard offering a real-time consolidated view of balances, cash flows, pending payments, and action items across all connected accounts. The platform’s configurable multi-step approval workflows allow organisations to define signatory rules based on a wide range of criteria, such as account, currency, amount, payment category, or counterparty, ensuring robust governance without sacrificing operational speed. Payments can be signed securely via a dedicated mobile application, with certificates stored on-device. The banking orchestrator also supports counterparty management, including integrated sanctions and PEP screening through providers such as LexisNexis, Dow Jones, and LSEG Risk Intelligence, as well as cash concentration and pooling rules that automate fund sweeping across connected accounts.

Looking ahead, the session highlighted the platform’s upcoming role as a Peppol gateway, enabling both the sending and receipt of structured electronic invoices.

fundcraft: end-to-end digital fund operations

Olga Porro introduced fundcraft as a fully licensed fund service provider, holding both AIFM and central administration licences, that has built its platform entirely in-house, on a cloud-native, API-first architecture. The platform consolidates all fund back-office operations in one environment: corporate secretarial, transfer agency, fund accounting, risk management, portfolio management, and investor relations – all accessible simultaneously to fundcraft’s internal experts, clients, auditors, depositaries and tax advisors.

Critically, fundcraft was designed to be an open platform, integrating selectively with partners for areas where specialised infrastructure adds the greatest value. In Olga’s words: “Our approach is to digitalise and automate what we know best, then integrate with best-of-breed digital partners who handle specific critical areas.”

The integration with Finologee’s banking orchestration platform exemplifies this philosophy: via API, the Finologee banking orchestrator feeds automated daily bank statement retrieval directly into fundcraft’s accounting engine, enabling near-real-time cash reconciliation without manual intervention. Capital call workflows, for instance, are now tracked end-to-end within the platform: from the generation of drawdown notices and creation of receivables through to the matching of incoming investor payments retrieved via the banking orchestrator, providing fund managers and their clients with a clear, live view of payment status at every stage.

The session also demonstrated how fundcraft’s team has given its users direct access to the Finologee banking orchestrator interface for more detailed operational oversight, while progressively building core banking data (real-time balances, reconciliation status) directly into the fundcraft platform itself. Currently serving over 240 Luxembourg-domiciled funds representing more than €12 billion in commitments across venture capital, private equity, private debt, and fund-of-funds strategies, fundcraft processes thousands of reconciliations and reportings daily through this integrated model.

A practicial model for next-generation fund administration

The webinar offered a clear illustration of how a partnership built on complementary strengths (rather than one-size-fits-all platforms) can deliver tangible operational gains for fund managers. By embedding reliable, regulated banking connectivity and payment orchestration within a purpose-built fund operations environment, Finologee and fundcraft are addressing one of the persistent friction points of modern fund administration: the fragmentation of banking data, payment workflows and operational oversight across multiple portals and systems.
