Digital Insight was an American provider of online banking software for banks and credit unions, headquartered in California. Founded in 1995 by Paul Fiore and Daniel Jacoby,[1] the company grew rapidly during the late 1990s, went public during the dot-com boom in 1999, and expanded through a series of acquisitions. In 2007, it was purchased by Intuit and rebranded as Intuit Financial Services.[2] The business was later sold to private equity firm Thoma Bravo in 2013,[3] restored to the Digital Insight name, and acquired by NCR Corporation in 2014 as part of its digital banking division.[4] In August 2024, NCR Voyix agreed to sell the division to Veritas Capital, after which it became part of Candescent.[5]
