Case Study: FINOS achieves full control and visibility of its Open Developer Platform with Mend

Mend Enables FINOS to Achieve Full Control and Visibility

FINOS (Fintech Open Source Foundation) is an independent nonprofit that runs an Open Developer Platform (ODP) to accelerate open-source collaboration across the financial services industry. Because its members are highly regulated banks and tech firms, FINOS needed to ensure every contribution met strict security and license-compliance standards without creating a bottleneck for developers working on diverse, rapidly growing projects.

FINOS partnered with Mend to automate policy enforcement for vulnerabilities, licenses, and quality issues, blocking noncompliant commits and integrating checks into the deployment workflow. The result: faster, safer development—significant time savings for contributors, stronger industry confidence and buy-in, and increased contributions that help position FINOS as a secure hub for fintech innovation.
