Connectivity

The Problem:

FIs are struggling to transform digitally

Financial institutions can easily fall behind if they have a mindset that resists change. FIs that recognize the need to digitally transform can lack clarity on how to achieve it – or even what it means. Most FIs turn to an integration partner for help.

Best-of-breed or best-of-suite?

Financial institutions face a choice: A best-of-breed approach allows for handpicking flexible tools but risks increased complexity. The best-of-suite approach provides simplicity but jeopardizes innovative capacity due to vendor dependency and subpar technology. Additionally, most integration solutions lack customization and support for additional features and strategies like embedded finance, BaaS, payments, and data management.

The Solution:

CaaS is the best of both for FIs

PortX is a comprehensive connectivity-as-a-service platform that enables FIs to leverage the benefits of best-of-breed technologies while reducing the overhead of managing multiple service providers. Even smaller FIs can experience the same capabilities as larger banks with unimpeded access to their core data, an agile integration platform that accelerates speed-to-market for innovative products, and has your back with a team of personalized financial integration experts.
