FIS Global and Intain operate new Avalanche gateway to modernize the credit system
- FIS Global and Intain have launched a blockchain gateway on Avalanche to modernize loan origination and management.
- The gateway connects community banks with investors, automates verification and increases transparency in lending.
FIS Global, a major financial technology provider that processes more than $9 trillion in transactions annually, has partnered with Intain to launch the Digital Liquidity Gateway to introducea blockchain-based marketplace based on Avalanche.
The project targets approximately 2,000 regional and community banks in the United States, enabling them to buy, sell and securitize loan portfolios in a secure, automated environment.

The service is designed to work with FIS’ core banking infrastructure and uses artificial intelligence to automate tasks that were previously done manually. By connecting these processes, the gateway modernizes the banks’ loan management and loan protection. It moves asset-backed financing to Intain’s Avalanche Layer-1 blockchain, which controls instant data verification and automatic payments.
The platform is starting to onboard banks and investors and is expected to process transactions worth a few hundred million dollars this year. Initial examples have already shown that digital onboarding makes the audit process easier for small banks, speeds up the flow of money and creates more trust among investors.
Digital liquidity gateway increases bank transparency
Siddhartha, CEO of Intain Markets, explained:
“This partnership brings blockchain where it matters most – in asset-backed finance. The bankruptcy of Tricolor and First Brands show that restoring trust in the underlying assets is now more important than ever. We are automating manual processes and creating transparency for everyone involved.”
Regional and community banks have always played an important role in local growth and supporting small businesses, but they often struggle to access large sources of capital. The Digital Liquidity Gateway helps bridge this gap by providing a transparent system that directly connects banks with institutional investors.
John Omahen, head of FIS Digital Assets, described the new system as an important step forward for local financial institutions:
“Digital Liquidity Gateway marks a fundamental shift in the way regional and community banks can manage their balance sheets and serve their communities.”
The future of the capital markets Avalanche
The partnership aims to make lending more competitive, benefiting both consumers and small businesses. Omahen:
“That means more lending capacity for small businesses, more competitive lending products for consumers and a more resilient banking sector that can better serve America’s Main Street.”
The Digital Liquidity Gateway, built on Intain’s Avalanche Layer 1 and powered by AvaCloud, demonstrates how Avalanche’s fabric can create secure, compliant networks for financial institutions. The initiative shows how blockchain can strengthen the foundation of traditional finance while expanding participation in the capital market.
John Wu, president of Ava Labs, highlights the broader economic impact:
“As we enable institutions to access capital markets more efficiently, they can lend more, offer better interest rates, and provide more credit to underserved communities. This collaboration underscores how Avalanche’s blockchain technology is modernizing real-world finance, helping community banks expand credit access and strengthen local economies.”
