FINOS is pleased to announce that the HERE Enterprise Browser version 9.0.1 has successfully passed the FDC3 2.0 Conformance Test Suite. Congratulations to Johan Sandersson and the HERE team for achieving this important milestone and contributing to the growing ecosystem of interoperable, standards-based desktop agents.

As financial institutions modernize their digital ecosystems, interoperability has become a strategic priority.

This month, BMO X - a leader in banking and digital experience - reached a major milestone: achieving FDC3 Certification, confirming that its applications and workflows now conform to the Financial Desktop Connectivity and Collaboration Consortium (FDC3) open standard.

When more than a thousand leaders from across global finance gathered at Convene Brookfield Place in New York, the message was clear: open collaboration has moved from principle to performance. The Open Source in Finance Forum (OSFF) New York 2025, hosted by FINOS and the Linux Foundation, was not just another industry gathering. It was proof that open source now delivers measurable business value across innovation, risk management, and operational efficiency.

The event marked a milestone for the open-finance movement. With record sponsorship, over 1,000 registrants, and representation from the world’s leading financial institutions, technology providers, and regulators, OSFF New York 2025 showcased how open collaboration has become an integral part of how the financial industry builds, secures, and scales technology.

(If you were not able to join us in person, all of the videos from the presentations can be found on the FINOS website here.)

During our recent Open Source in Finance Forum (OSFF) in New York, we had the honor of recognizing some of the outstanding individuals making meaningful contributions and driving positive impact across the open source in financial services ecosystem.

We’re incredibly grateful for their efforts and for the many others who continue to support and strengthen this growing community. We’re pleased to highlight the recipients of the 2025 FINOS North America Community Awards.
