Banks and financial institutions are constantly evolving to offer more value to their consumers. To meet today’s customer demands and regulatory mandates, financial institutions need to modernize their payments infrastructures and partner with innovative payment providers, co-creating a digital payments ecosystem based on newer hub models.

Now that the era of faster payments, 24X7 instant execution, and open banking solutions is upon us, financial institutions of all sizes are reconsidering the use of modern technology hubs as a realistic option. The API/Collaborative economy can bring significant revenue streams and allow banks to charge for services that they offer through Open Banking or can be leveraged to cut costs, up-sell, or cross-sell.

Learn how cloud-based microservices payment solutions provide your financial institution the critical competitive edge to propel you into the future of banking allowing your institutions to offer a wider variety of payment options (real-time/instant payments, cross-border schemes, ACH, RTGS, etc.), meeting regulatory mandates such as ISO20022 without undue cost burdens and help you move away from the spaghetti and silos of different payments components.

OPEN TO KEY DECISION MAKERS FROM BANKS

Volante Roundtable Discussion will be packed with insights including the top challenges that hinder most financial institutions to broaden their payments services, leveraging Cloud, Payment Infrastructure (Instant/Real Time Payment, Domestic and Cross Border), microservices architectures, APIs, Payment Data (ISO20022) and Open Banking.
