Why 2025 Became a Turning Point for Contiant

Some years move the needle. In 2025, we upgraded the entire dashboard.

‍

For Contiant, this has been a year of rapid lift-off with new partnerships, bigger stages, broader networks, and a growing team pushing Open Banking forward with purpose.

Across Europe and across the industry, 2025 defined us. We move forward with clarity and genuine optimism.

Stepping Into the Spotlight: How Contiant Showed Up Across 2025’s Biggest Conferences

‍

This period has also been marked by significant dialogue across the finance industry.

At MPE London, Contiant stepped forward as a Bronze Sponsor, taking an active role in shaping the conversation around pay-by-bank adoption. The event brought together fintech leaders and merchants and highlighted real-time payments, fraud prevention, embedded finance, and Open Banking.

With CEO Ivo Dimitrov interviewed on stage, we presented Contiant’s mission to build faster, more secure and more connected payment experiences. Across the conference, the full team, including Mariam Samimi and Naum Velinov, exchanged perspectives with merchants and industry leaders and gained valuable insight into priorities around speed, security and modernisation. With topics ranging from artificial intelligence to orchestration in focus, MPE reaffirmed its position as a leading platform for payment innovation.

Later in the year, at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, we shifted the spotlight to engineering excellence. The global cloud-native community gathered to explore the future of scalable and resilient systems, and Open Banking featured prominently in discussions. Contiant’s presence reinforced something we have always believed: the best financial products are built on world-class engineering.

In September, Ivo Dimitrov attended SBC Summit 2025 and met with operators, partners, and innovators shaping the iGaming ecosystem. The event created the right environment for discussions about how Open Banking can support the next wave of industry growth.

ObservabilityCON 2025 London brought together engineers and innovators focused on improving system visibility. Representing Contiant, Tsvyatko Kriviradev and Dimitar Kostov explored how advanced monitoring tools can strengthen Open Banking infrastructure.

Later in the year, we proudly joined Data Stack Conf 2025 as a Gold Sponsor and supported Bulgaria’s first conference dedicated to modern data infrastructure. Contiant’s booth showcased how Open Banking is transforming payment connectivity and enabling cleaner and smarter financial data flows. The team represented by Dimitar Kostov, Kiril Nedialkov, Tsvyatko Kriviradev, Palmina Dimitrova, and Redjep Mollaali engaged with developers exploring the next wave of data-driven solutions. The event was a strong reminder of how collaboration and technology together shape the future of finance.

SiGMA World Central Europe gathered the leading voices at the intersection of iGaming, technology and financial solutions. The event encouraged operators, suppliers and visionaries to exchange ideas that influence global trends. For Contiant and Ivo Dimitrov, it was a strong opportunity to showcase how Open Banking is opening new growth opportunities.

In November, Slush 2025 brought a global community of founders to Helsinki and transformed the city into a centre of bold ideas. Hundreds of side events created the perfect environment for meaningful conversations and new connections. For Ivo Dimitrov, the event was an ideal setting to share Contiant’s Open Banking vision and meet other company founders who are passionate about the future of fintech.

This Year’s Partnerships: Turning Shared Vision Into Real-World Change

‍

Contiant joined forces with Vialet to bring real-time transparency, automated reconciliation, and instant operational insights to iGaming merchants. The joint effort removes outdated manual processes and replaces them with efficient, Webhook-powered financial workflows that help businesses move faster and scale.

The partnership with Mozarto strengthens Contiant’s ecosystem-driven vision, uniting expertise to deliver secure, modern payment solutions. Together, we’re enabling faster transactions, smoother onboarding, and streamlined compliance for fintechs, banks, and iGaming operators.

Both collaborations show how a unified vision and modern technology can accelerate real progress across the payments landscape.

If 2025 taught us anything, it is that real success is always shared

With every event, every partnership and every late-night brainstorm, Contiant grew into a stronger version of itself. This year proved that when the right people, ideas, and technology meet, the road ahead becomes brighter.
As we move into 2026, we carry that belief with us, determined to turn new challenges into breakthroughs and new partnerships into lasting impact.

And we can’t wait to share the next steps with you. Here’s to a year ahead shaped by clarity, connection, and meaningful possibilities!
