“Developers are changing how they build, and AI is becoming a more natural interface for how they build software. They now expect to interact with APIs more dynamically and move from idea to production much faster. By bringing Finix into tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, we’re aligning with that shift and making it easier to go from a question about payments to building on our platform.”

- Richie Serna, CEO and co-founder of Finix
