Introduction

What is Finmarks?

Finmarks is an open dataset of 152 Indian fintech entities — banks, UPI apps, wallets, NBFCs, and more — with verified brand metadata, SVG logos, and a fully-typed npm package. It exists because building fintech software in India means constantly looking up the same logos, IFSC prefixes, and UPI handles.

What it contains

Every entity in Finmarks carries structured metadata — not just a logo. The dataset is built to answer the questions that come up at runtime in a real fintech product:

  • Which bank issued this IFSC code?
  • Which app does @ybl belong to?
  • What is HDFC Bank's brand colour?
  • Show me all active UPI PSPs.
  • Is this entity regulated by the RBI or NPCI?

What makes it different

Most logo packs give you files and stop there. Finmarks pairs every asset with a structured record: IFSC prefix, UPI handles, FIP/FIU identifiers, regulatory body, founding year, and a category taxonomy built for the Indian fintech stack.

The npm package exposes a typed query API — no runtime fetch, no loader configuration. The dataset is inlined into the bundle. After tree-shaking, you only ship the code paths you use.

Why Finmarks exists

Every fintech product — whether it is a UPI app, a checkout page, or an investment platform — needs to display bank, payment gateway, and regulator assets to build trust and legibility. Whenever a company builds a new screen or releases an update, sourcing and managing these correct, high-quality assets is a repetitive hurdle. Finmarks exists to solve this: aiming to be a centralized, open-source database of financial logos and metadata that any company can rely on, ensuring software is built faster and remains accurate.

That is also why this project holds a strict sourcing rule: assets come from official brand kits or official properties, never from third-party aggregators and never traced by hand. A distorted logo misrepresents the brand, which serves nobody. Each logo is compressed with SVGO and validated to contain no raster embeds, no scripts, and a proper viewBox.

The MIT licence covers the code, schemas and metadata. The logos themselves belong to their respective brand owners — see the Trademarks page for what that means in practice.

Community

Finmarks is community-driven. Missing an entity? Want to add a logo variant? PRs are welcome — a metadata-only contribution with "logos": { "full": null } is a real contribution. See the Contributing Guide to get started.
