Tashkent, Uzbekistan – 16/03/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – FinHarbor recently announced a major update to its modular fintech infrastructure platform, expanding its crypto-fiat functionality and introducing a deeper orchestration layer across all modules. The updated platform bundles IBAN accounts, card issuing, payments and crypto-fiat exchange into a single stack, reducing typical launch timelines from more than a year to roughly one month. The company positions the platform as a ready-to-deploy foundation for fintech startups, embedded finance teams and licensed institutions that want to bring a financial product to market without building the entire stack internally.
The problem it addresses
Launching a neobank from scratch is still a long and expensive process. Most teams need 15–20 engineers, more than a year of development, and roughly €1.5–2 million before the first customer can even open an account.
FinHarbor’s approach is to remove much of that upfront work. The platform comes with core components already integrated: pre-built connectors to banking partners for IBAN and account infrastructure, card processing, payment rails, and crypto wallets. In practice, this means companies can start with a working financial product instead of assembling and connecting multiple vendors themselves.
What changed in the new release
The main change in the latest version is the introduction of a unified orchestration layer. Earlier versions of the platform offered modular components that could be connected together. The updated release adds a shared data model, a single audit log and compliance logic that operates across all modules.
Clients now integrate through one API and operate under a single contract, while still keeping the option to replace individual components if needed.
On the crypto side the platform has added extended custody capabilities for clients with specific blockchain integration requirements, broadening the range of supported networks and asset types. The compliance and AML tooling has also been updated, making it easier to configure the system to match each client’s internal policies and risk frameworks across different jurisdictions.
A recent deployment in four weeks
One EU-licensed fintech company recently used the updated platform to launch a full neobank in 28 days, including IBAN accounts, card issuance and crypto-fiat exchange.
The first week focused on core infrastructure: setting up the environment, integrating identity verification through SumSub, and connecting to the banking partner’s IBAN account infrastructure.
During the second week the team activated card issuing and configured the platform’s connections to SEPA, SWIFT, and international payment rails provided by the licensed banking partner.
The third week introduced the crypto layer – custodial wallets, exchange logic and fiat ramps.
The final week was dedicated to integration testing, white-label interface customisation and the production launch.
According to the company, the only noticeable delays were related to compliance approvals with the partner bank – a regulatory step rather than a technical limitation.
Industry perspective
“The new release is based on a simple idea: orchestration matters more than integration,” – said Ilya Podoynitsyn, CEO of FinHarbor.
“Connecting APIs from several vendors isn’t the difficult part. The real challenge is making those components behave like a single product – with unified compliance rules, a shared audit trail and enough flexibility to avoid vendor lock-in. That’s the engineering problem we focused on solving.”
Compliance and target users
The platform includes built-in AML transaction monitoring, sanctions screening and configurable verification tiers. Suspicious activity reports can be generated in formats accepted by regulators, and every system action is recorded in a unified audit log accessible through the admin panel or API.
Companies can operate under their own EMI, PI or VASP licence, or work through a licensed banking partner. The platform is designed to support both models and is aligned with regulatory frameworks such as MiCA and DORA.
FinHarbor says the platform is primarily aimed at three types of clients: fintech startups launching an MVP, companies adding embedded financial services to an existing product, and regulated institutions – including banks or government organisations – that need on-premise infrastructure.
It is best suited for companies looking to launch and iterate quickly on a proven infrastructure, rather than building every component from scratch.

Lance A. Slatton, “The Senior Care Influencer,” named Official Brand Ambassador of the popular digital solution focused on unique needs of those with memory loss
Livonia, Michigan, United States, 16th Mar 2026 – Lance A. Slatton, widely known as “The Senior Care Influencer,” and founder and host of the popular All Home Care Matters, the nation’s leading caregiver-focused media platform, resource and voice in long-term care, was recently named as Official Brand Ambassador for My CareClock, the only digital solution focused on the unique needs of those with memory loss and those who care for them.
Slatton, respected throughout the health care and senior living community as an innovator, compassionate and forward-thinking leader, and passionate advocate for supporting health care providers, said he is proud to represent a company redefining how families and caregivers navigate senior care and memory support.
“Joining My CareClock as its Brand Ambassador is an honor that aligns perfectly with my mission to empower Alzheimer’s caregivers and families worldwide,” he said. “My CareClock is more than technology — it’s a lifeline for caregivers. I’m grateful to lend my voice and leadership for My CareClock. It allows me to continue my lifelong commitment to advancing compassionate, accessible senior care solutions.”
In January, Slatton took over the leadership role of AlzAuthors, the leading community of authors writing about Alzheimer’s and dementia. “As President of AlzAuthors and host of All Home Care Matters, I’m thrilled to be partnering with My CareClock,” he said. “As one of the top recognized healthcare and senior care influencers, I’m dedicated to raising awareness about tools like My CareClock that simplify and strengthen caregiving.”
My CareClock was founded by Maureen Mueller, whose passage into senior care living began like many, in her own home.
“When I began my caregiving journey in 2009, I felt very much alone, and at times, overwhelmed,” she said. “My mother-in-law was forgetting anything I told her on the phone, so I would have to go to her house and leave notes about doctor’s appointments. I was getting frantic calls early in the morning, while at work, and late at night because the notes had gotten misplaced.”
She knew there had to be a better way.
“I met with a software engineer friend, Stu Penrose, and asked him if he could help design something like a digital whiteboard that could be controlled by an app and could be updated in real time,” she said. “Within months we had a prototype in several homes, and we were getting great feedback. People were loving what came to be known as “My CareClock.”
The CareClock and App can be set up in minutes, and it’s very intuitive. Any family member and caregivers that are added to the “Care Team” can use the app to update the CareClock. Reminders and appointments can be scheduled for months ahead, but those reminders will only appear on the CareClock when it is time for them to be on the “Today” or “Tomorrow” screen.
Mueller is glad to welcome Slatton to the My CareClock family.
“The My CareClock team is very excited to be endorsed by Lance A. Slatton and All Home Care Matters,” she said. “This organization has worked tirelessly to help care-recipients and their care partners find the best resources to make their journey easier. With the help of Lance and AHCM, we are certain that more families will hear about and benefit from having “My CareClock” in their homes.”
