Our history
Blankfactor was founded in 2015 by a small team of engineers and tech consultants who were committed to deliver tech solutions in a different way. They strove to create sophisticated products, completed with great care, a passion for quality and a client-centric approach. Understanding this as an incredible opportunity,
Blankfactor began to grow and innovate by looking for untapped talent in geographic locations emerging at the forefront of technological innovation. Their idea was not only to find great professionals, but also to become members of the communities they operate in and create new business opportunities in these regions.
In 2016, Blankfactor set up its first operation center in Colombia. The Latin American region is emerging prominently on the fintech industry map as a key location that will shape the financial landscape in years to come.
But we’re not stopping there. Our global presence is expanding to other continents, and especially in Europe and Eastern Europe. Considered the epicenter for the future of fintech, the European market is known to be highly competitive and innovative.
This is why, in early 2021, we opened a delivery center in Sofia, Bulgaria, where we have depended on talent for years. We’ll continue to grow as a means of helping more clients achieve their goals, develop new capabilities, and bring new products to life while building long-lasting, meaningful relationships with them.
