Riverty Taps Omada to Fortify Identity Governance for European Growth

COPENHAGEN, Denmark – February 17, 2026 – By Timothy Bell

In a strategic move to secure its rapid expansion across Europe, leading fintech company Riverty Group has selected Omada, a global leader in Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), to overhaul its identity security framework. The partnership will see Riverty deploy Omada’s cloud-native IGA solution to manage approximately 5,500 identities, reinforcing its security posture and ensuring compliance in the continent's heavily regulated financial sector.

This collaboration signals a critical trend in the fintech industry, where managing digital identities at scale is no longer just an IT function but a core pillar of business strategy, essential for enabling growth, maintaining regulatory compliance, and building customer trust.

Navigating the Complexities of Fintech Growth

As a subsidiary of the Bertelsmann Group, Riverty has established itself as a formidable force in European finance. With over 4,000 employees across 11 countries, the company offers a wide array of payment, collection, and factoring solutions, processing over one billion transactions annually. Its services, which include Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) options and consumer-focused debt recovery, place it at the heart of millions of consumer and business financial journeys.

This scale and rapid growth, however, present significant challenges. Operating within the European Union means navigating a complex web of regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Payment Services Directive (PSD2), and stringent guidelines from the European Banking Authority (EBA). For a company built on the values of trust and transparency, proving that its governance is sound is paramount.

“In a highly regulated environment, we need governance we can prove, and a scalable identity operating model that supports Riverty's growth across countries and teams,” said Dominic Adenuga, Identity and Access Management (IAM) Lead at Riverty. This need for a provable and scalable system drove the company’s extensive evaluation process, ultimately leading to the selection of Omada.

A Strategic Choice for Scalable Security

Omada’s reputation as a specialist in the IGA space makes it a logical choice for an enterprise with Riverty's complex needs. The Danish company has consistently been recognized as a market leader, earning accolades such as the "Overall ID Management Solution of the Year" for four consecutive years in the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards and a Leader position in the QKS Group SPARK Matrix™ for IGA. Industry analysts and customer reviews on platforms like Gartner Peer Insights frequently praise the platform's stability, flexibility, and robust capabilities, with users noting its effectiveness in standardizing processes in a cloud environment.

The IGA market is competitive, featuring major players like SailPoint and Saviynt, but Omada’s focus on a process-driven framework for complex hybrid environments provides a distinct advantage for organizations looking to streamline governance. The platform is designed to automate the management of user identities, access rights, and entitlements, reducing manual workloads and enhancing operational efficiency.

“Companies like Riverty operate in highly regulated environments and require robust identity governance to support both security and compliance,” noted Gry Collignon, Managing Director at Omada GmbH. “Omada makes IGA easier, more intelligent, and more efficient. We're proud to support Riverty with cloud-native identity governance that delivers the agility and scalability needed to manage complex identity workflows.”

The Power of Rapid, Cloud-Native Implementation

A key factor in the partnership is Riverty’s adoption of Omada's Cloud Accelerator program. This package promises a full-featured IGA implementation in a guaranteed 12-week timeframe—a significant departure from the lengthy and often complex deployments traditionally associated with enterprise security software. For a fast-moving company like Riverty, this rapid time-to-value is a crucial strategic advantage, allowing it to quickly bolster its security infrastructure without disrupting its growth trajectory.

The Cloud Accelerator utilizes a proven, best-practice framework, Omada IdentityPROCESS+, to standardize deployment and streamline process design. This approach not only accelerates the initial setup but also establishes a scalable foundation for future needs, ensuring the IGA system can evolve alongside the business. By leveraging advanced capabilities such as AI-driven decision-making and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), the solution aims to deliver stronger security and an improved user experience simultaneously.

Identity Governance as a Cornerstone of Compliance and Trust

For a fintech like Riverty, implementing a state-of-the-art IGA solution is about more than just internal security; it is fundamental to its public commitment to compliance and trust. A robust IGA platform provides the technical backbone for adhering to a multitude of regulations. It ensures compliance with GDPR’s strict data access rules by enforcing the principle of least privilege and creating auditable trails of who accessed what data and when. It also supports standards like PCI DSS by tightly controlling access to systems handling cardholder information.

Furthermore, automated access reviews and certifications eliminate the risk of "privilege creep," where employees accumulate unnecessary access rights over time, a common and significant audit risk. By automating these reviews and enforcing Segregation of Duties (SoD) policies, the system prevents potential conflicts of interest and internal fraud, providing regulators with clear, demonstrable proof of sound internal controls.

As Riverty continues to innovate and expand its footprint in the European market, this investment in identity governance provides a critical layer of resilience. The partnership with Omada ensures that as the company grows in complexity and scale, its ability to securely manage identities, protect sensitive data, and comply with regulations will not just keep pace but serve as a competitive advantage in the digital economy.
