Finzly, the pioneering provider of modern payments systems announced that its 2023 revenue growth doubled over 2022, and its payments platform volume grew by more than 400%.

The research firm also reports that 40% of banks have moved paymentyments infrastructure to the cloud or are currently implementing a move.
