Banyan Software Welcomes Simunix

Banyan Software, a global acquirer and operator of growing software businesses, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Simunix Holdings Limited, a York-based provider of advanced identity search and data verification software. The acquisition supports Simunix’s next phase of growth while preserving the product depth and customer relationships that have defined the business since its founding in 1998.

Founded by John Lewis in 1998, Simunix has built a trusted reputation across both public and private sectors. Its flagship platforms, ORBIS and T2A, are used by UK police forces and other multi-national organisations to support investigations and ID verification functions. It is also relied on by leading logistics providers, public sector bodies and financial institutions for KYC, data orchestration and compliance.

Simunix has spent more than two decades building systems that public and private sector customers rely on every day to support their business operations. As I looked ahead to the next chapter, finding a partner who would recognise what we’ve built and invest in its continued development was the most important decision I could make. Banyan stood out for their long-term mindset, their respect for our core values, our team and their genuine commitment to the business and the customers we serve.

John H. Lewis • CEO of Simunix

What stood out about Simunix is the depth of trust the company has earned with its customers and the quality of the product John and his team have built over many years. We’re proud to welcome Simunix into the Banyan family and to support the team as they expand into new verticals, develop the next generation of leadership, and continue serving their customers with the same care and reliability they always have.
