Fintech company Leatherback has announced its rebrand to Foren, marking the culmination of a two-year transformation that’s seen the company overhaul its technology, strengthen its regulatory and compliance infrastructure and reposition the business for its next phase of growth.
The transition to Foren represents more than a change of identity. It follows a rebuilding of the business, from its underlying technology and operational infrastructure to its leadership and governance, with a renewed focus on delivering a more dependable financial experience for businesses operating across borders.
Over the past two years, the company has undertaken significant changes to address the operational and technological demands of building financial infrastructure for a global market.
These efforts have included rebuilding its technology stack end-to-end, revamping its compliance systems and strengthening its regulatory capabilities to support a more robust and scalable operation.
The transformation is accompanied by significant changes in the company's leadership and ownership. Following the announcement of a new management team in 2025, Zedcrest Group completed its acquisition of Leatherback in July 2026, providing the business with a stronger capital base and institutional backing to support its long-term ambitions.
Together, these developments have laid the foundation for Foren, a company entering its next phase with a rebuilt technological foundation, strengthened governance and a renewed focus on customer experience.
As Foren, the company will focus on providing businesses with a unified platform for managing their global financial operations.
Its business banking platform brings together services including global accounts, international collections, cross-border payouts, foreign exchange and treasury management — enabling businesses to manage financial activities across markets through a single platform.
The platform is designed to address the complexities businesses encounter when operating internationally, including managing multiple currencies, receiving payments from overseas customers and paying suppliers across borders.
By bringing these capabilities together, Foren aims to simplify global financial operations and give businesses greater control over how they move and manage money.
The rebrand also signals a renewed approach to customer relationships. Rather than treating the transition as an isolated brand exercise, Foren sees it as an opportunity to introduce the improvements made across its business to existing and prospective customers, with a product experience shaped by its investments in technology, compliance and infrastructure.
For businesses that have encountered Leatherback in the past, Foren presents a new proposition, backed by substantial changes to the company behind the platform. The transition marks a deliberate move forward, with the ambition to build a financial platform that businesses can rely on as they expand beyond their domestic markets.
With its new identity, strengthened institutional backing and rebuilt technology infrastructure, Foren is positioning itself for a new chapter in global financial services, inviting businesses to experience the platform and discover a different way to manage their international financial operations.
