Our Story

For over 35 years, Fintech has redefined how over 300,000 businesses and their trading partners (supporting over 1.1 million B2B relationships) buy and sell goods and services in the retail, hospitality, and alcohol industries. We are designed to help companies of any size, whether enterprise or single-site, overcome daily operational challenges in their procure-to-pay processes with innovative, efficiency-focused solutions.
 
While we started with electronic alcohol invoice payments, we’ve since broadened our invoice processing capabilities to accommodate all B2B transactions. We also have a dedicated CRM solution crafted to bolster field execution strategies for alcohol suppliers and distributors. In 2024, we acquired iControl and Nexxus Group, allowing us to expand into inventory management through scan-based trading (SBT), a retail sales model for both retailers and suppliers.
 
Our integrated platform centralizes invoice data and payments, POS and delivery data, product and cost compliance, price book management, and industry market data insights using AI, seamless back-office and ERP system integration capabilities, and proprietary automation technology.
 
Established in 1991 and supported by TA Associates and General Atlantic, Fintech operates from its headquarters in Tampa, Florida, continually evolving to meet the dynamic needs of its clientele.
