Truly innovative financial technology should make banking perfectly transparent in the lives of consumers and businesses. When we talk about banking today, we still talk about accounts, lines of credit and cash management services. Banking still distracts and interrupts. Our ultimate goal: banking that becomes invisible, banking vanishes into our lives and businesses. This is why we are particularly focused on ecosystems: can we participate in and build the platforms where we can seamlessly embed banking in the context of experiences for consumers and businesses.

Our Customers:

Ecosystems are built on platforms that support multi-participant markets and multi-point transactions. Therefore, from an ecosystem development perspective, our customers are the participants in these ecosystems.

This can be made clearer by way of example. For the financial services platform, the resulting ecosystem has the following participants:

• Financial institutions such as rural bank and non-bank financial institutions (coops, lenders, etc.)
• Customers of these financial institutions
• Financial service providers that leverage the platform such as lenders and insurers
• Technology providers that build solutions on top of the platform
