Our history

Fabrick is a company within the Sella Group founded in 2018 with the objective to develop an Open Platform project aimed at encouraging collaboration and simplifying the innovation of banks, fintechs and corporates, thanks to the opportunities fostered by Open Banking and the PSD2 Directive, which came into force in Europe shortly afterwards.
