GitHub has joined the Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS), a nonprofit that promotes open innovation in financial services, alongside organizations such as Red Hat, Nodesource, Citigroup, UBS, and HSBC. The growing reliance on open source software in financial services aims to enhance customer software, improve infrastructure, and empower engineering teams. GitHub has observed a 40% increase in contributions from fintech organizations in the past year, reflecting this trend. FINOS, formerly the Symphony Software Foundation, serves as an independent forum for open innovation in finance and plans to expand by incorporating new programs, members, and contributors. The foundation focuses on fostering collaboration to tackle the financial services industry's unique challenges and opportunities, and GitHub is enthusiastic about contributing to this mission.
