Global fintech company plans ‘major U.S. hub’ in Atlanta

The headline refers to London-based fintech software company Finastra, which is opening a major U.S. hub in metro Atlanta at the start of 2026.​

What is happening?

• Finastra is establishing a new U.S. office in the iconic King building at the Concourse/Perimeter Center office park in metro Atlanta.​

• The company describes this site as a major U.S. hub that will function as a key leadership base for its American operations.​

What will the Atlanta hub do?

• The Atlanta office will house staff across engineering, product, data, and corporate functions, supporting Finastra’s financial services software platforms.​

• Several global senior leaders, including CEO Chris Walters, the CTO, and the Chief Data Officer, will be based there regularly, with Walters splitting his time between Atlanta and the company’s global headquarters in London.​

Why Atlanta?

• Finastra cites Atlanta’s status as one of the world’s leading fintech hubs, with a large cluster of payments, banking-tech, and related firms already in the region.​

• Georgia hosts more than 200–240+ fintech-related companies employing tens of thousands of workers, making Atlanta attractive for talent, partners, and customers.​

When is it happening?

• Public announcements from December 2025 state that the Atlanta hub will open in January (early 2026) as part of a broader global expansion that also includes a new innovation center in Trivandrum, India, and expanded facilities in Pune.​
