Banking, Done Right
The future of banking is collaborative and dynamic. Financial services firms must evolve their enterprise DNA in order to adapt to shifts in society, culture, technology, and the economy.
In the past, banking was synonymous with long queues at the branch, endless forms, and time consuming approval processes. Times have changed. The great unbundling of financial services is upon us. The “one-stop shop” approach to providing financial services has given way to “there’s an app for that” which focuses on providing the right service closest to the customers point of need. Embedded finance is a trend that will surely continue focusing on integrating financial services tools directly in other services like payments, insurance, etc.
Depending on your core business offering and competitive advantage, banks and FI’s must adopt a strategy and technology approach to compete in this new environment.
A New Era Requires a New Approach
Our experience working with FI’s on their transformation journey provides a unique perspective on how banks can achieve a no-regrets approach to achieving their objectives. We’ve developed these core competencies to maximize the value we offer clients.
Core Banking
Financial institutions must revamp their core banking systems to participate in the changing financial ecosystem. Blanc Labs provides the expertise, technologies, and capabilities to analyse and upgrade core banking systems to increase effieciency and productivity, reduce time to market, and create better customer experiences.
Composable Banking
Banks need to keep pace with fintechs and neobanks if they want to stay competitve. One way to speed up the launch of new products and services is adopting composable architecture. Our approach to digital transformation is based on the MACH principles: Microservices, API First, Cloud Native, and Headless, making it possible for banks to have better control over their product roadmap and faster release cycles.
Open Banking and Open Finance
Regulatory and market forces are paving the way for consumer-directed finance. Open banking and open finance will require financial institutions to form strategic partnrships with third parties and create platform-based distribution models. With our expertise in platform integration and API management, we can help you navigate the journey to open banking.
API Management
In the new era of banking, where data will be shared within and between organizations, APIs are the currency to deliver new products and services. Blanc Labs has proven expertise in building and integrating components into core systems using APIs. Our approach encompasses the entire API Management cycle starting with API integration readiness and ending with monetization.
