The Marlin team demonstrated a deep appreciation for the strength of our value proposition and a strong alignment with our goals.”
“Marlin’s cross-Atlantic understanding of the European and U.S. markets, as well as their experience in the Office of the CFO software and the monetization of data and payments in particular, were the key reasons we were keen to partner with them,” added Chris Calhoun, TIS’ CEO of Americas.

The Company’s mission-critical platform is well-positioned to deliver continued growth in the global market for B2B payments, cashflow and treasury management solutions,” said Konstantin von Bismarck from Marlin. “We are excited to welcome TIS to our family of software businesses and are thrilled to support the Company’s vision of helping more enterprises effectively, securely and transparently manage their treasury needs.”
