Avalo Unifies Brand for Payments Treasury and Fintech Banking Solutions

Avalo, a provider of institutional banking solutions, has unified its brand across payments, treasury, and fintech banking. The move, according to Stephen Coburn, CEO and co-founder of Avalo, is a brand alignment rather than a business change. Ionfi by Avalo, the company's flagship solution, will continue to focus on its core competencies while the broader Avalo brand will encompass a wider range of services and technologies.

Avalo currently serves more than 60 financial institutions across over 20 countries. Since its inception, the company has processed more than $12 billion in cumulative payments. Over the past eight years, Avalo has built a robust technology infrastructure and operational expertise to support institutional banking needs.

Through Ionfi by Avalo, institutions can access payments, treasury, and foreign exchange (FX) capabilities. Accounts are held in the institution's own name through relationships with FDIC-insured U.S. partner banks. The solution combines payment technology with experienced operational support for institutions managing U.S. dollars and cross-border payments.

The Avalo Platform connects payments, treasury, and compliance workflows alongside institutions' existing systems, under their own policies and approvals. By linking payments with relevant customer information and supporting documentation, it helps institutions understand who is sending and receiving funds, why a payment is being made, and how it is handled. This context supports payment reviews, traceability, and control.

The Avalo Fintech Program brings these capabilities to banks through a bank-governed, Avalo-operated model. Avalo provides technology, payment operations, compliance workflows, and business development to help banks pursue new deposits and fee income through fintech relationships. Banks retain authority over their policies and risk appetite and can build a fintech business without having to run the entire operation internally.

The company's unified brand is now live at avaloglobal.com, with ionfi.com remaining in place. The brand alignment does not change existing client contracts, integrations, pricing, or day-to-day contacts, and no action is required from clients.
