Ovanti Limited (ASX:OVT) is a financial technology company developing payment, settlement and institutional financial infrastructure across Asian markets. Through iSentric, the group provides digital transaction and enterprise technology services. In 2026, Ovanti changed its operating direction by exiting global buy now, pay later (BNPL) activities, concentrating on existing institutional services and outlining a broader financial infrastructure strategy.

Why the Company Moved Away From BNPL

On 20 August 2026, Ovanti Limited (ASX:OVT) announced that it would discontinue BNPL activities worldwide following a board review.

The change placed greater emphasis on iSentric, whose services include mobile banking, authentication, payment processing and enterprise communications. An August 2026 company announcement attributed approximately A$3.58 million in FY26 revenue to iSentric; that business-specific figure is not directly equivalent to consolidated continuing-operations revenue.

What the FY26 Financial Results Revealed

In its preliminary final report for the year ended 30 June 2026, Ovanti Limited (ASX:OVT) reported revenue from continuing operations of A$2,344,751, compared with A$5,892,580 for the preceding reporting year. The net loss attributable to owners was A$23,943,495, compared with A$9,582,559.

The reported loss included A$3,863,566 from discontinued operations associated with the US BNPL subsidiary, which entered Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings. The preliminary accounts also included a A$2,207,814 impairment of the BNPL licence and a A$1,159,930 impairment relating to an associate investment.

Cash at 30 June 2026 was A$292,530 against A$4,945,424 at the previous year-end. Operating cash outflow amounted to A$21,142,218, partly offset by financing inflows of A$16,434,995. Net assets were A$13,173,473.

Funding Measures and Subsequent Developments

On 14 August 2026, Ovanti Limited (ASX:OVT) announced a non-underwritten entitlement offer of one new share for every existing share at A$0.002, seeking up to approximately A$2.293 million before costs. The offer subsequently closed, while October 2026 announcements recorded the issue of shortfall shares; the original maximum offer amount should not be treated as confirmed proceeds.

The company was suspended from quotation on 1 October 2026 because its statutory financial report was not lodged by the deadline. ASX announced reinstatement on 7 October 2026 following the filing of the accounts. Separately, Ovanti released a September-quarter cash-flow report on 20 October 2026 and announced an iSentric infrastructure memorandum of understanding on 8 October.

Operating Uncertainties After the Strategic Reset

Ovanti Limited (ASX:OVT) continues to face questions around cash requirements, funding arrangements, financial performance and the progress of newly outlined products. Its US BNPL exit also involves legal and insolvency-related processes. The company has described cost reductions, but the available August material did not quantify the savings. Future operational results will determine whether the narrower existing business and new initiatives translate into improved reported cash flow.

Key Insights

Ovanti’s 2026 disclosures mark a transition from BNPL operations towards iSentric-led services and a wider institutional financial technology strategy. The FY26 accounts documented reduced continuing revenue, a larger net loss and limited year-end cash, alongside capital-raising initiatives and subsequent ASX compliance developments. Distinguishing established operations from proposed platforms, and reported funding from potential proceeds, remains central to understanding the company’s position.
