(Alliance News) - Fiinu PLC on Wednesday saw its share price multiply after announcing its first white-label deal with a UK bank.

The Weybridge, England-based financial technology firm has signed the heads of terms for use of its flagship product, Plugin Overdraft, by an independent UK bank.

Fiinu shares climbed to 6.20 pence on Wednesday morning in London, up significantly from Tuesday's close of 0.67p.

The plugin will be part of Fiinu's banking-as-a-service platform, which "will fully integrate into the bank's existing treasury, regulatory reporting and accounting system", Fiinu said.

The tech company has not named the partner bank, though Wednesday's announcement follows a year of negotiations between the two companies. Though heads of terms are signed, they remain subject to a contract and regulatory approval.

Master service and service level agreements are still to be confirmed, and will require Finuu to provide ongoing customer support as part of its turnkey service.

Finuu and the bank have agreed to a 12-month exclusivity period for the UK, with the platform expected to launch in the fourth-quarter of 2025.

"This strategic collaboration marks a pivotal step in Fiinu's journey," noted Fiinu Chief Executive Marko Sjoblom.

"We believe our plugin overdraft platform is a valuable asset, and we remain committed to unlocking the full value of our proprietary intellectual property and AI offerings."

Sjoblom added that Finuu was speaking to banks outside the UK, and remained in talks to secure the firm's regulatory capital.
