Strands is a software company founded in 2004 in Corvallis, Oregon and headquartered in Barcelona that develops software for banks & retailers. Strands Finance Suite provides white-label products including Personal Financial Management (PFM), Business Financial Management (BFM), and Card-Linked Offers (CLO). In 2008, Strands deployed the first PFM in Europe.[1]

Strands' software employs artificial intelligence techniques such as machine learning, collaborative filtering, pattern recognition, automatic categorization and predictive analytics.[2][3] In 2007, Strands organized a Summer School on Recommender Systems, which led to the creation of the ACM Conference on Recommender Systems.[4] Its patent portfolio in music recommendation algorithms was acquired by Apple in 2011.[5]
