D+H purchase of Canadian payments software provider Misys bank , which it plans to merge with Vista Equity Partners' in the UK , could herald a wave of consolidation in the fintech sector, according to Vista Equity Partners' . Many smaller fintech companies have been bought by established financial services giants keen to gain a technological edge it would be too expensive or troublesome to develop themselves.
