Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Banks would typically fund very few fintechs, but BaaS has allowed revolutionary banking products to offer financial services without the infrastructure of a bank. The development of open banking, a step further past BasS, enacted regulations that would give any business consumer data, to allow fintechs to now provide services and products that previously only banks could own. Most notable of these offerings are embedded financial services.
Banxware is the first company to offer fully digitalised embedded financial services, a type of tech that allows for the efficient integration into any kind of platform to provide businesses with financial services within the business interface. This allows any kind of online platform, including marketplaces and payment providers, to offer bank-like services, covering funding, trading, payments, loan management, and bank account maintenance. This closes the gap that exists between fintechs and digital platforms with established banks by putting the customer first.
Companies like Banxware are essential for banks to be able to modernise and digitalise their services to serve a much wider customer base. Having raised multiple funding rounds and securing a strategic partnership with PAYONE (a market leader of payment services) in 2022 and more recently with Agicap (a liquidity management and financial planning platform), Banxware looks to be continuing the expansion of its service offerings.
